Crime rates are higher than state averages, which is the main safety caveat sources flag, even as some multi-decade residents call their own blocks quiet, clean, and well kept.

Long-term residents describe Inglewood as fairly quiet, clean, and well kept, with neighbors who keep to themselves and convenient shopping on Crenshaw and Imperial.

Crime rates run higher than California averages, and SoFi event days mean street closures, noise, and parking fights; Facebook renters openly debate whether $3,700 a month is reasonable.
