<p>My student is interested in renting a house off campus next year. The location is on Ophelia St which is near where Forbes meets Boulevard of the Allies. Is anyone familiar with this area and have an opinion on whether this would be a generally safe neighborhood?</p>
<p>My son said he would feel comfortable living there - but it would have to be a really cheap price because crossing Blvd of the Allies every day would be a pain. This is South Oakland - generally considered a bit less safe than other parts, but still full of students. I think it’s safe, but I would use common sense walking at night.</p>
