Thatâs funny because the crime rates of Detroit and Ferndale say crime knows boundaries. They are separated by 8 Mile Rd, but they might as well be hundreds of miles apart.
Detroit homicide rate: 298/100,000
Ferndale homicide rate: 2/100,000
Thatâs a pretty magical road between the two cities.
From my experience, the secret of living in Hayward Hills is ⌠folks donât necessarily go to HaywardâŚ
They run errands just across the other side of the hill at the Castro Valley Hills, spend weekends at the tri-valley (Pleasanton, Dublin, etc.), and send kids to the private schools at Castro Valley.
Hayward Hills is beautiful and safe, with some very nice neighbors from all over the Bay Area (doctors, dentists, tech engineers, etc.)
When have time, checkout the area â starting from the California State University, East Bay, through Hayward Blvd going up the hill, through Fairview, and to Castro Valley. There are some hidden gems up there.
Hayward is no langer a secret. .I have been telling folks to buy there for yearsâŚOne of my best friends paid $1m in the hills three years agoâŚnow worth $1.4mâŚThere are new homes going for $1.5m
Crime is a daily occurrence, you donât notice it until knocks on your door. For example, one parent from my daughterâs school charter shot his wife last week. We didnât know all the details but over the hearsay or horseâs mouth.
Gee! One crime is nothing! Worry about the idiots loving guns.
Indeed. It is a thing of a daily occurrence in any state.
I donât care about being a victim of any crime, I am on my way out.
What scares me is the gun nuts everywhere.
Iâve been basically shitting on my pants twice in the last year alone when they sent us a notification of a âlock downâ at my boyâs high school.
