About How safe is the Lake Street/Midtown area in Minneapolis

 How safe is the Lake Street/Midtown area in Minneapolis?
My wife and I are looking at an apartment at 30th and Park. The school she teaches at is right near the Midtown Exchange. She wants to walk to work. I'm not concerned about demographics, or urbaness, or weird behavior at night. All I want to know is if we are putting our lives at risk. We are both 23yrs old and white, if that matters.

Hennepin used to be the rough street in Minneapolis...but now Lake Street is pretty disgusting. If I were to move to downtown (which I live in a St. Paul suburb) I would only consider the Uptown area. Safety will cost you a bit more.
