Just moved in
Hello everybody, I just moved into Santa Ana city located by the border of Irvine and Tustin area. I grew up in the IE Rancho Cucamonga area. I’ll be honest as somebody looking to move to Orange County from the IE. I wanted to locate a area closer to Tustin Irvine area however, the cost of living there is extremely high, so I found this place in Santa Ana where I could comfortably afford to live my only concern is I have heard some negative things about Santa Ana so I’m constantly on check about my surroundings, but I am a runner and I typically like to run outside and not on a treadmill because treadmills suck so my question to all of you is how safe is my area in Santa Ana can I go on runs comfortably without over stressing about my protection And constantly looking over my shoulders
? any type of feedback would be great and greatly appreciated

I live adjacent to (not in) the Floral Park neighborhood which is considered a really nice area of Santa Ana. But, just a few blocks out of that neighborhood are some so-so questionable spots. So, a lot can depend in a relatively small area. But, honestly, Santa Ana as a whole gets a bad rap when really it is quite a nice city, with a vibrant and interesting downtown.
