PS the house is near that park..cant think of the name now but its on the major street In SJ
You'll be fine, as long as living in a "nice" area isn't a must for you. I think you made the right decision.

g-maps suggests St. Albans is on the other end of the park, our place is on the other opposite (south west) side of the park.

So by implication, only ugly people lives in your uncle's hood? This is New York, unfortunately women get cat-called all over NYC, so ain't nothing special about her here. Again, you have bigger issues to worry about.
