We have lived on Bass Rd in Brainerd Hills for 20 years. This is NOT a high crime area- false information. There are incidents of petty theft when cars have been left unlocked at night and rare isolated incidents of worse crimes, but this does NOT qualify as a high crime area.
Ours is a peaceful neighborhood- lots of folks walking dogs, parents pushing baby strollers, and joggers. This is a very stable older neighborhood, so no loud parties, etc.
