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) ---

Look for cheap apartment complexes, section 8 housing in particular. ---

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. ---

Elma? Rural yet not too far. I wouldn’t mind moving there or East Aurora in the future. Edit: Actually, I wouldn’t mind moving the hell out of NYS. ---

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. ---
