Safer Areas in Buffalo, NY

[Kathy Argento]

Hello everyone.

I am interested in investing in buy and holds long distance in Buffalo, NY because my daughter may go to college in this city.  I live in CA.  I am looking at a duplex right now in this area (circled in red below).  Can I get any information if this area is a safe area or not?  Or would I have to qworry about vandalism here.  Of course, I know there are risks wherever you buy, but just curious about this particular area.  Thank you.
