Broadway safety

I’m looking at an apartment on Broadway near the ALDI and it seems like a decent area if a bit rundown. the apartment is nice though, seems secure and affordable. I’m fine with living in a lower income area I’m just wondering if its as dangerous as some people make it out to be. one of the local shop owners told me that other than people being drunk and hitting on women theres no issues there and said I shouldn't be worried about anyone breaking in to my car or trying to rob me. But then I’m hearing from people who love down the road that their friends car was broken into like 3 times and that its still sketchy. so what is it? Is it lower income and safe as long as you’re not an idiot, or do I have to be ready to fix my car window and watch my back? as an aside I’ve been living on the west side near elmwood so I’m used to that kind of area
