Young lady, you are wise to ask. Gracefully decline the offer of the apartment and find a more safe residential area, especially for a young, single lady. It is relatively easy to get around the Bronx by car. However, if you won't be driving, just make sure public transportation is easily accessible. It usually is. I notice a realtor gave you a website to review. I suggest you take a look at that and revisit your housing plans. Good luck, and welcome to the Bronx. - Thu Aug 7 2008, 11:23
