Kadıköy is a safe area overall. At the center you can walk or stay with safely. I can say that it's a saved area in Istanbul, and for me it's the place which i most feel safe. But after 1-2 am at seaside which called Rıhtım, it would be good to be carefull. The upside of Kadıköy like Moda is much more safe for seaside.
