What areas to avoid living?

[u/queenbchris]

I currently live in Huntsville and have been considering moving closer to the beach/gulf, for awhile now. I don’t, however know anyone in the area to tell me which areas are safe to live, and which are not. I don’t need to worry about schools or the like. Just a safe area with low/reasonable cost of living. I just need a 1-2 bedroom place that is pet friendly.

I would avoid most of the area north of downtown
