Hello--I have some friends that are looking at homes in this area, it is zip code 27103. I'm not that familiar with Winston Salem, and wondered if anyone could give me a general idea of this area around Crafton St. in terms of safety, crime, etc.
There's definitely a deterioration of streets as they get closer to Peter's Creek. Lockland, Gales, Brent? All pretty good. Sunset starts to get dicey, Corona I don't know much about, but it wouldn't be my first choice, and by the time you get to Crafton/Duke, you're teetering pretty close to the nasty area around Peter's Creek Parkway.
I don't know hard numbers on crime around there. Maybe it's not as bad as it seems. Still, I'd look a couple of streets over. That part of Ardmore is definitely on the upswing, and the adjacent streets are genuinely nice. The apartment complexes are just keeping those streets down a little.
Thanks, Carolina. Yes, my friend had mentioned that there were some apartments nearby that looked ok, but might be a concern. She wants to drive through the area at night to get a better feel.
I really appreciate the info you have given me with the street names included, Carolina. I will pass this info along to she and her husband. Now they can have a better idea of where to look, when viewing the streets on a map.
Yeah, I rolled down Duke/Crafton on the way home the other day and it's a definite "no". The housing stock is pretty bad on that street. Not a lot to like. However, North of Academy, parallel to Duke/Crafton, almost every other street is pretty nice. Even Corona (at least south of Seneca).
