I wouldn't say this area is bad, but it does borderline between a bad area and a good, so you kind of get both ends of the spectrum. Everyone that lives in the complex seems good and I haven't seen police in the actual complex at all, but I do hear sirens all the time and almost always see something involving police when I am driving around the area.

We are next to a police station so hear sirens frequently.
