What are the safest suburbs to live in New York?

New York, a magnet for those seeking a fresh start, is a city that combines the promise of the American dream with a more complex reality marked by high crime rates in some areas.

A recent study by SmartAsset has revealed the safest suburbs in the United States. If you are thinking of moving to New York, but security is a priority, we recommend three places.

Considering that security is a fundamental aspect for home buyers, an exhaustive analysis of 360 suburbs in the main cities of the United States was carried out.

In this sense, towns located within a radius of between 15 and 45 minutes by car from the 100 most populated cities in the United States were considered suburbs.

The research focused on comparing the safety and well-being of these communities, evaluating indicators such as property crime rates, excessive alcohol consumption, drug overdoses and deaths from accidents.

When analyzing the 35 safest suburbs, SmartAsset found that those located in Indianapolis, especially Carmel and Fishers, offer the best options in terms of affordability.
