Thinking of moving to King's Langley or Abbots Langley

I am a single female in my late 30s and i'm currently renting in North Bushey. I want to buy my own place and live somewhere a bit less busy, more peaceful and closer to the countryside. Kings Langley or Abbots Langley are looking like good options as they are still close enough for me to commute by bicycle to my job in Watford and are also easy access to the motorways so I can travel to see my family in Leicestershire and Sussex.

Can anyone give me any information on what it's like to live in these areas. How safe is it and are there any areas I should avoid?

Thank you in advance ☺️
