Good afternoon, all!My family and I are moving to Kingwood in the next few weeks. We've spent months looking at homes in the area and found one we love in the Mills Branch village. Sadly, a number of acquaintances are determined to dampen our enthusiasm with what appears to be outdated rhetoric regarding crime in Kingwood. I've researched as much as I can find online and as far as I can tell, the Mills Branch area is relatively safe considering how close it is to a major city.I'll just looking for some input on a few specific questions:1) Am I moving my family into bedlam, or is this area of Kingwood reasonably safe? By reasonable, I mean am I able to take basic precautions (lock doors, stay off the greenbelt after dark, keep garage door shut) and live a happy life there?2) Is my wife safe to run on the greenbelts during daylight hours? How about children?3) What are your recommendations for home security? We don't bother with much stuff, but are people getting attacked in their homes?Thanks for your input.Â
@mdemargel:
No place is crime free. Kingwood is fairly safe, but it depends on who you ask and what you're used to. Some people think its Armageddon when a car gets broken into. Just do your own research and be happy with your decision. 4951
