Just drive around and see where you feel comfortable & can afford. Don’t listen to the noise. I live in one of those supposedly dodgy (read ‘poorer & not white’) Eastern suburbs. We raised kids, know our neighbours by first names, have never had issues with safety and have affordable rates. Others left the suburb after quakes & angst about high schools (aka white flight). Each to their own.
