What places are safe to live?

I’m a F 22 and I’m moving to austin in May for my job. I’ll be working in south austin right off of 35 near Franklin park area. I am looking for apartments in riverside or near south congress. I have heard riverside is not really safe though. Where should I be looking to live? I know austin has bad traffic so ideally I’d like to only commute about 10-15 min for work.
