How safe is Oshawa?

Aside from the homelessness, there's not much craziness going on. The majority of violence tends to occur with people with various degrees of involvement with illicit substances 👀 aside from that, the farther south end and north end tend to be hotter spots for crime

Downtown is pretty rough. Lots of stabbings. The north end is better but has a lot of shootings. I do not recommend walking around by yourself downtown but the mall is very safe as is the college. Lots of addicts and homeless unfortunately
