A woman living alone may encounter many safety threats. When they live in an apartment complex those threats rise dramatically. In an apartment complex you are mixed together with many kinds of people from different walks of life. You live right next door to John and his girlfriend Amy, but do you really know them? They always have traffic coming in, and out of their home. Maybe their friends can't stand to be away from them or maybe they are supplementing their income, (if you know what I mean)!  And the strange guy in the apartment across the hall, who always stares at you and smiles, then makes weird noises while you are washing in the laundry room. What's his story!


Thoughts such as those enter your mind when you are living alone in an apartment. And it doesn't matter if that apartment complex is in an affluent area of town. Predators come from" good upper middle class families" too!  Don't let the fancy cars and clothes lull you into a false sense of security. And even your flat screen television can be cruel sometimes too! You try to find a nice movie to help you relax, and fall asleep, but every other show is about a woman being chased by some maniac. The setting is usually an apartment complex, where the electricity just went out, and of course she is alone! Try to get some sleep after that 2 hour movie!


Ladies, I hope that I have your attention! My point is not to scare you, but to help you understand that Safety is your #1 priority when you are living alone in your apartment. Apartment living can be very enjoyable! Depending on your needs, and budget, you can have swimming pools, exercise rooms etc. Apartment living can give you a chance to have amenities that you might not be able to afford any other way. If you can afford an apartment with a door man it would help greatly, but that is not an option for most people. But try to find an apartment complex that has a security system in place which monitors every entrance in your complex as well as the complete grounds. A security system that allows you to see people on your television when someone rings your door bell is a great feature.

As long as you Educate, Train, and Arm yourself with Personal Safety items such as Stun Guns, Pepper Sprays, Personal Alarms, Home Protection Devices, and choose an apartment complex with a good security system, you will have peace of mind, and feel safe and secure in your apartment.
