Out of their price range, I would think? Maybe a condo. Not sure. M Streets are great but were discovered a long time ago.

Look at some of the townhomes being built (or just finished being built) along Haskell near the store Dolly Python. I would imagine prices are lower in this area. Also Haskell near Bryan has some modern looking townhomes. Cruise around Ross Ave and go east on Washington.

Fair Park is up-and-coming in my opinion.

The homes there were built in the late 40s and early 50s, and most of them have not been well-maintained by their elderly owners. We practically gave grandma's house away because it needed major foundation and electrical work, and a drive down any street will show houses with visible foundation problems, peeling paint, etc. Also, there R a lot of tiny, cheap, frame houses (near Harry Stone Rec Center) that bring the neighborhood even further down.

Casa Linda was "discovered" about 10 years ago and finding a house in that part of town for $150k now will mean it's a major fixer upper.
I personally know some young families that have moved into that area in the last couple of years. They have similar neighbors to them in age and demographic. I agree that it has some South Congress to it as well. I don't know what people think of South Congress of these days, but its not a stretch to compare.

Do you plan on living in the house for a long time, eventually having a family there, or looking to eventually use it as an investment property down the road?
