Is Northcote a safe place to live?

Hi,
I have never heard of Northcote not being a safe area.
Thanks
Surprisingly yes. Everyone helps everyone out and looks out for each other. Many have outdoor cameras and share info with others. A very caring community
It had a dodgy reputation 25 years ago but your biggest danger now is probably having your foot run over by someone's pram. The population has transformed from transients in rented accommodation to families adding a second storey.
Yes....Northcote is safe. I'm a single woman who was attacked with a knife wielding intruder in Ballarat 12 years ago. I have never felt unsafe in Northcote. I wouldn't live here if I didn't feel safe and haven't ever considered having an alarm! My neighbours are excellent an we look out for each other😄
yes i agree with you, lived here for 50 years, you have to be alert still. dont walk alone at night if you can avoid it.
