Central ave is not safe past 11. U need a car do anything so stick to carpool clubbing. Keep doors of cars locked when parked. Knife in pocket when it's dark. Ppl will piss on ur car past 12 if ur on washing Park or Central. It's ok to feed the homeless. Cdta isnt that bad at night. Not worst then the city. Overall better then nyc and Schenectady. That city is scary af past 8.
Posted: April 11, 2025I’ve had things stolen off my property and junkies approach me in a poor demeanor but never been in danger to where I needed to run from someone or been attacked directly. Employees can either be the sweeties of berries or more sour than a lemon. Just treat people how you’d like to be treated and you’ll be alright and always say “so I don’t have any cash on me”
Posted: January 24, 2025Albany, New York is safe depending on what area’s you go to, but I would walk around at night and wouldn’t stray away from the main square in Albany. There are other places around Albany that are safer and have better activities.
Posted: December 27, 2024Certain parts of Albany safe such as the expensive housing areas or rural parts of albany.Being in downtown albany there's a lot of homeless people ,hostile men asking for sex. I would be careful during the day in downtown albany. Stay alert
Posted: August 12, 2024Areas near university feel safer, but there are incidents sometimes so it is best to stay vigilant. The public transportation is generally safe. It’s not usually full so physical contact is minimal if you are averse to it. Most people do not walk alone late at night for safety.
