the homes there are priced accordingly. A mentor of mine lives on Melvlle when I lived in Shawmut there was a homicide right near his house on Bourneside Street

this house recently sold for $1.7:

It's beautiful but someone paid almost 2 million for it and it looks like it needs a TON of work. That's a lot of money to pay for a big home in area with a good amount of crime. It's nice how it's up on a hill though. Somewhat sheltered I guess.

This one looks less burdensome:

id consider those homes to be deals. Especially the first one. 1.7 M for 9 bedrooms 5 bathrrom, huge lot, 6060 square feet near public transit. In the middle of massive inflation. Even with 350,000k in renovations you still did well. Crime certainly affects the price.

Did a quick look around.

5 bed 9 bath for a cool 13.5M in Cambridge.

6 bed 7 bath for the low price of 6.5 M in Brookline

5 bed 3 bath for 2.95 M in Cmabirgde

7 be 6 bath in canton for 2.8M

8 bed 8 bath 3.2M in Newton

This is what happens when you dont build new housing.

Is that the guy that runs the 10 Washington St joint? Definitely sounds like someone you'd have for a mentor homie!

You can thank comrade chairWumyn for that homie, developers are not charities and won't build if they're required to give away a large number of units for next to nothing in the name of centered green new equitable racial justice.

I'm not sure i'd consider a home that is 1.7 million dollars and near Geneva Avenue to be a deal. It would be a better deal if the neighborhood had way less crime. Of course Cambridge and Brookline cost more. Location, location, location. People value different things I guess. If someone is hell bent on a nice victorian home and doesn't care about crime, has no kids it could be perfect.

Nope. The man you are thinking of lives in the suburbs.

You wouldn't- but it is.

The crime is what makes it that low. Itd double in price if not triple if it were near Jamaica Pond.

Exactly. We know you dont care about crime but some of us do and prefer not to be around it. If someone else wants to pay 1.7 million for that house good for them.

Next time a resident of Melville Ave is a crime victim, you let me know, i will keep a tally.

Welp this happened there in June:

Should anyone living on the st not be upset even if the person shot or shooting wasnt a resident of melville ave?
