No worries, Silver Crest is a perfectly safe neighborhood.

We have friends who live there and love it.

If you’re worried about only having one way in and out, I suggest you take a look at the emergency exit at the end of Saddleback Way – leads to the church down the hill. True it’s gated, but in an emergency that gate wouldn’t stop me. 🙂

If you’re worried about the train station, I have not heard about crime waves in SM around the train stations. Besides, Silver Crest is about a half-mile from the closest one.

If you still have reservations, contact the San Marcos Sheriff’s substation. They are more than happy to discuss crime and safety with you.
