Hello, I've lived in Quezon City for around 20 years. My best advice would be staying in older, more established districts like New Manila, Scout (Sacred Heart)/Tomas Morato or Kamuning since these areas have a better local police force to resident ratio. These 3 places are adjecent to each other & I grew up there – quite peaceful but very accessible. I loved walking around in those neighborhoods. I recently moved to a gated subdivision/village in Batasan Hills & it's not been easy. There's just too many people (and tricycles), trash & it is not very pedestrian-friendly (unlike places mentioned above). Doesn't feel safe walking outside the village & I've noticed that while there are so many police checkpoints here (we live around 300 meters from the House of Representatives/Congress), the atmosphere is still chaotic (check out the number of road accidents & gun-related incidents in this area and you'll get what I mean). Othe places I recommend as “safer” are Loyola Heights, Don Antonio, Xavierville, White Plains & Eastwood – but again, these are mostly gated residential areas. Hope this helps!

In 2015, the PNP listed 20 crime-prone barangays in Quezon City. You can check the report here.

And I can attest that the place can be scary at night. There a few instances where a robbery happened just next door to me. You have to wonder what Mayor Bistek is doing in his municipal office.
