Moving to Onward Willow area?

Hi! My partner and I (both male, early 30s) are currently looking for a place to move and found a nice detached house in the Onward Willow area.

I did a bit of Googling and saw some people mention that it’s not a great area to live. At the same time, I’ve also seen mixed opinions.

For context, we currently live in downtown Toronto and are used to some sketchiness around areas like Moss Park, etc.

How does Onward Willow compare to Toronto’s “sketchy” areas or downtown in general? Is it actually rough, or just rough by Guelph standards?
