North Avondale - nice on the prime streets or still too dangerous?

Very nice. More than I want to spend but like the location and overall look. Might be overpriced, too, because it's been on the market for awhile. Doesn't look like it has a backyard.

Also keep in mind that you will have to send the kids to private school or roll the dice in the lottery for a CPS magnet.


ETA: they bought it for $275k in 2012, so the $225k delta is "upgrades". They also fought to have the tax value reduced to $275k so the tax burden on that house will essentially almost double the minute it sells for $500k. So rather than $7000/yr taxes you will be paying $13k.

I went through the house. You can still hear I-75 in the house and louder outside which I definitely do not like. Also, not sure how they can justify the price difference. They cleaned up the house a bit and remodeled the kitchen but don't see $225k worth of work. Still needs a lot of work. All the bathrooms are original and road noise inside. Road noise is a deal breaker.

Greendale connects directly with Jeurgens, which is an Avondale street. Any day now it's going to be flipped into a yuppie street but in its current condition I'm sure that Wilson123 couldn't handle it. AT LEAST 3-4 black families live there which means your home and cars will be broken into EVERY NIGHT.

Thank you. This is super helpful. You are correct about the I-75 traffic noise. I heard it inside the house and louder outside. I could hear it from every room. I love the street, some nice homes there but that road noise is a deal breaker.

I would avoid it for that reason but the street is fine.

I know it's a bit out of your price range but this house on Clifton just it the market. It's completely redone.

Love the house you shared. Unfortunately it's off of Clifton so I assume there's significant road noise. That's what I didn't like about the Clifton Hills home. Thanks for looking out though and sharing the listing!
