Is Heerhugowaard safe for women?

Lots of crime happens all the time, mostly at night tho. I would at all times avoid going to the Rivierenwijk as that is the most dangerous street here. People in this city aren't very friendly or welcoming either, you won't see someone on the street smiling at you

Heerhugowaard is a very safe place to travel to and to explore, I have lived here for 18 years and have never really felt unsafe. Public transport is also really great and safe as a solo traveller. I travel to school everyday to Amsterdam alone and never had any problems:)
