That's where I'm at as well. I'm a 20-25 minute walk to Canterra Tower. That's if I cut through the neighborhood and pop out at Edmonton Trail and Memorial. That likely quailfies as crossing a highway to you. To avoid that, you can cross the pedestrian overpass at the Bridgeland/Memorial train station and walk along the river.
The crappiest part is the area around Langevin bridge because you're right by the Homeless Hilton. Sometimes you'll see a few people around, but there is always a cop sitting by the shelter when it's busy, and I've never gotten hassled. That said, I ride my bike and just take the path on the North side of the river instead and skip all that. Congrats on the place!
