Hi,
My family is trying to buy an apartment in Casablanca and really struggling to decide on a location.
I am use to being very independent and don't want to end up buying a property in an area I don't feel safe walking around in alone or to have my daughter walking around in alone.
Every city has areas that are more crime and are more dangerous then others. My husband is mainly getting advice from men, but the experiences of men and women are just not the same. I need more feedback from a female point of view.
We were about to make a decision between a few places in Maarif and Roches-Noires. My daughter was talking to a female freind living in Casablanca and she advised that it was a bad idea. She said based on her personal experiences and her friends experiences living in both areas that we were not going to be comfortable living in these areas. She said there was a high risk for getting robbed at knife point in Maarif and as someone who does not speak the language I was going to not feel comfortable living in Roches-Noires and be at high risk for being harassed. In both places said being followed or sexually harassed as females was very high. She basically said you won't feel comfortable or safe so there is no point living there. She literally warned us against it and suggested trying to buy in Quartier Californi.
Does anyone have any feedback on this?
Thanks
