Like any major metropolitan area, Dallas-Fort Worth has areas of town that are statistically safer than others. As such, it’s important to understand the crime rate in your immediate area and to take certain precautions if you live in an area with relatively higher crime rates by historical metrics. Security systems are one such precaution that is easy to invest in and set up for your Dallas home.
Whether you’re new to Dallas or are just interested in a little extra peace of mind, a good security system is a great investment. Let’s go over a few reasons why Dallas residents need a good security camera system installed on their property.
Safest Dallas Neighborhoods
First, let’s look at the safest neighborhoods identified by Neighborhood Scout. Since crime rates are relative, it’s a good idea to use tools like this to compare the area where you live with surrounding areas. (If you haven’t been to Dallas yet, these might also help with your decision about which area of the city, or even which suburb. to pick.)
Here are the safest Dallas neighborhoods, according to Neighborhood Scout:
- Hillcrest Rd / Spring Valley Rd
- Northaven Rd / Hillcrest Rd
- Northaven Rd / Inwood Rd
- Northaven Rd / Preston Rd
- Hillcrest Rd / Royal Ln
- Rawlins
- Spyglass Dr / Briargrove Ln
- W Northwest Hwy / Boedeker Dr
- Eastern Ave / Caruth Blvd
- Abrams Rd / Royal Ln
Benefits of a Good Security System
If you live in one of the above neighborhoods, great! We still recommend a security system for added peace of mind, but it is reassuring to know that your neighborhood is statistically safer than other Dallas neighborhoods. If you don’t live in one of those areas (or want extra security regardless), here are some of the benefits you can enjoy with a good security system:
- Better protection for valuables and family members
- Less anxiety and worrying about safety
- Fewer incentives for criminals
- Better insurance rates
- Allows for remote access to your home
- Get alerts and notifications for any incidences
- Helps monitor children, utilities, pets and more
