Is Sunset Park safe?

Sunset Park is generally considered a safe, family-oriented neighborhood, though as a large and diverse area, conditions vary somewhat block by block. Its busy commercial corridors, strong immigrant communities, and the well-used Sunset Park itself keep the streets active and neighborly. Crime has trended down over the years alongside steady investment. As with any city neighborhood, common-sense awareness after dark is sensible, but most of Sunset Park is a comfortable, working, community-minded place to live.
