Single woman moving to NYC want to know what are the safest neighborhoods/areas in near the Bronx?

I'm a single woman going to NYC I need to know what are the safest neighborhoods where rent isn't extremely crazy. I realize that this is one the most expensive and high crime cities in the country but I'm self employed so I'm not looking for a penthouse just my own place no matter how small as long as it's in a safe area. I would like the Bronx but it doesnt have to be there.

I'm 27,black female. I dont care about schools, I'm looking to rent and I'm not one for interest in the nightlife either.
All I need is it to be is: safe, affordable as Nyc can be for a single person. and if possible public transit near by thats it really.

  • I might be moving to National City, CA. Before I do that I wanted to know if it was safe for a single woman or if I should seriously consider somewhere else. For instance, would I be okay pumping gas at night. Will I hear gunshots often? =) Also, if you know anything about Paradise Valley Hospital let me know. Thanks!

  • I love Dilbert, Cathy, Far Side & Close to Home. Can you think of any other funny comic strips that a single funny & intelligent woman would like, one that isn't necessarily so common (like don't suggest Snoopy, For Better or Worse)? I'm looking for a new comic strip to read, but I'm not familiar with too many of the new ones. Thanks!

    I received a job offer from an international company in Dubai so I am investing living in Dubai as a single woman. I know that it is an Arabic country so idea of working women in technology fields must be sort of new there. But my main questions are:

    1- How is it like to live there as a single woman?
    2- Is it safe enough?

    4- What are the most important challenges for working women there?
