I have been fortunate enough to be eligible for an apartment within The NYCHA, I have just a few days left to choose from a list of available developments. I have been racking my brain for weeks and I just can't seem to make a choice. I have been giving a list of a few developments in Manhattan as well as The Bronx. I really need to figure out which location would be the safest and more accessible to public transportation, as my hours vary with my job. At times I could be leaving home at 6am to go to work or be coming at 1am from work or leaving at 11 pm to work the night shift. I also have a 3 month old daughter and would want something that is safe for her well being. Please help!!!!!!!!!
I have been offered as follows:
The Bronx:
Adams
Bronx-River
McKinley
Monroe
Sedgwick
Jackson
Melrose
Webster

You would think having these type of housing would make people grateful, but I'm glad you're thinking about your child.
I would A B S O L U T L Y rule out every location in the Bronx aside from Monroe.
I can't talk on behalf of Manhattan propects, but I've been to and work in or around everyone in the Bronx that you've mentioned. Sotomayor Houses and Monroe ( Right by each other, only separated by a highway) are in relative terms, safe.
They have good access to 2 buses, BX5 and BX27 that can get you to the 6 train in under 15 mins, and they run late, perfect for someone like yourself. Centered in a small (ghetto) shopping center, with a Western Beef(Super market). You have everything nearby.
15 min walk or 5 mins on the bus and you'll be in the Bruckner shopping center. with access to 2 more buses. BX39 and BX36.
So Monroe is what I would choose, If I was offered. I've been waiting sine 12/12/12.
Out of all of them harlem river has got to be the cleanest an safe
