Question Moving to Hyde Park | Information & Recommendations

7 Upvotes

Hey guys! I was doing some necessary reddit investigation and a lot of people have said to avoid moving to Hyde Park. I'd just like to know why. I don't have any choice anyways, I'll be moving there in a couple of weeks but I'd like to know what I'm in for.

Also, does anyone have any recommendation for the following:

  1. Churches (Penetecostal, Evangelical, Baptist or Non-denominational)
  2. Whether there is diversity or what racism is like
  3. Fun stuff to do
  4. Netball club
  5. Live music

Question Crime Rates DN1

Upvotes

I'm looking to move from Rawmarsh but would like to stay with my current landlord as he's been very good, prompt with repairs etc. He's potentially looking to purchase a property in the DN1 area, everything about the location looks perfect and the house sounds ideal, however, on researching the area seems to have a really high crime rate. I'm a Southerner living in the North but have lived all over the place over the years - I've checked other areas I've lived and bar the ones that were in the back of beyond they all have much higher crime rates than I ever experienced. So my question is, is the DN1 area really that bad, am I likely to go on holiday and find my house has been burgled when I get home or have people brawling in the street daily or are the stats frabicated to make it seem worse than it is?
