Question about Bolingbrook...Specifically Beaconridge
I fell in love with this townhouse out in bolingbrook(in the beaconridge subdivision)
I was ready to make a offer on it, but i found out about a stabbing at the Bolingbrook High School.
At first, i shrugged it off, because kids will be kids and fights happens.
Then i decided to do a little bit more research, and i discovered that Beaconridge is the 'worst' part of Bolingbrook, and it has gangs, drugs and section 8 tenents, which is a recipe for disaster.
Is it really that bad in beaconridge? I dont want to invest in a property down there and have its value plummet because some gangbangers are selling drugs in that area.

In short, yes. I would not want to live in that subdivision. I don't really like that whole area around the 53/lily cache corridor anyhow. There are some shady characters hanging on corners at odd hours of the night.
If you really want to invest in older parts og Bolingbrook, I suggest looking further down 53 the other way, closer to Boughton.

FWIW, about two years ago I was cashing a money order at the currency exchange on the corner of lily cache and 53. When I got out, some black kid was like, "give me your money, mother f**cker!". He must have been 14 at most, so I shrugged it off, got in my car and drove away. |
