Temple University area housing

<p>Just wondering if anyone lives off campus around Temple and your thoughts on the area as a student. I have read many reviews, but would like to hear from students themselves living in the area and what they think. Do you feel safe? Also we are looking at the following areas for housing and want to know if anyone knows which areas are the safest of the following locations,,
1) around 2000 block of n carlisle just south of Diamond
2) 1500 block of n 12th, just near oxford (has parking which is a plus)
3) 1700 block W Montgmery between 17th & 18th sts</p>
