Over the last years, some cities in the United States have been hit by an increase of higher crime rates. Of course, this is a constant concern for home owners and even simple visitors, because their family’s safety comes first.

While incidents can technically happen anywhere in the world just for being at the wrong place at the wrong time, you can definitely decrease your chances of having a bad experience by being in safer areas. That’s why today I'm giving you a list of the 6 safest places to be in San Diego in 2020.

2- Torrey Pines
