How the frig do you figure out if it’s a shitty area?
I know to look for run down shit and what not.
But I don’t want to buy a house in an area and find out it’s full of drug lords and fear walking to my car every morning.
Normally I crossed cheektowaga right off the list, and ignored anything in that town/village.
But, there are pretty cheapish homes there, and I’ve decided to take a look at some homes in there.
The only thing I can really hope for, is if I go to view the homes, there’s a shit load of old people taking walks around the block and sitting out in their rockers drinking their coffee.
that’s like the only way I can feel like I’m buying a home in a safe neighborhood there :ugh:
(I’ve also crossed anything in NF or Lockport off the list as well)
Good luck with your quest I guess. I am amazed at what people think are “BAD AREAS!!!” My parents are old and live in Amherst maybe you should move there.
Go on zillow and see where property prices are increasing and decreasing. I live in South Buffalo and where I live is still good and will be for a long time. Im surrounded by west Seneca and the park, lots of crazy Irish folk around here that will keep it that way. m thinking about putting a family room addition on the back of my house, I wouldnt do that unless i thought it would stay good for awhile. I also work for the city and have to live here but this is where I would live.
