That is very similar block. Three years older. I wish it was closer to a major airport. Looking in Las Cruces, too, but I think there is more crime and gang trouble in lower priced areas there.

Yes, since they were built near the same time, and showed more detail of the outside I thought it was interesting to share. I really like it.
I agree about the possible bad areas. It's pretty hard to get a good feel for a place online. Trulia, I think, gives a colored code showing if it's in a high crime area, or not. While looking online this morning some of the surrounding areas don't look very good. Plus it's right on the border with Mexico which brings it's own problems. That's too bad because those historic houses could be very cute fixed up. I could just see them with some drought/heat tolerant landscaping, and gardens, and trees for shade, and beauty. At one time in the distant past they were probably well loved.
Yeah, I just checked that link again, and it said "Crime: Lowest crime relative to the rest of Cochise county."
No murders in quite a few years. The border communities are really challenged to harness all the activity at the border. Billions worth of trade right there. At worst case, I would cross in the daytime e and shop duty free, drink some cold Pacific's, get a hair it, and go to the casino...after dark can vary a lot. I know Nogales well, but not Aqua Prieta. Arizona seems to be in much better shape than New Mexico. No cheapies anywhere in Phoenix Tucson, or even Nogales.
Most of old Douglas is in a 500 year flood plain. Were you aware of that?

I've read some worrisome stories down along the border. Some of the good things you mentioned sounds like it could be fun. Me? I'm not seriously thinking of moving down there. The cool part of the year I could handle, but not the hot part .
I mostly live in a dream world imagining what it would be like living in different places, lol. It's my cheap way of traveling without actually going anywhere . Right now it looks like I may end up in small town eastern Oregon soon if my application for senior housing gets the final ok. Your thread was interesting to me on several bases. My ex husband, and I just sold an old mill house on the Olympic Peninsula that was built in 1918. I really liked that house, and my garden .
Hmmm that figures, the 500yr flood plain is not so good since those types of things have been happening more frequently these days. Was it built in a wash, or whatever the Spanish word for it is? Sometimes those types of things are not very deep, but the water is very forceful when it does show up.
It is about halt a mile from something more like a small river, but yes, those washes in Tucson are horrible for flash floods and are much more likely in a 100 year plain. At 4000 feet Douglas is mild co pared to Phoenix, as was Nogales..a solid ten degrees cooler daytime and twenty at night than PHX.

Sometimes if you go to satellite view those things are more visible from a distance. Before my ex, and I bought that old house we looked at the satellite view of the Dungeness river that was about 1 mile away from the house. You can see where some of the old river courses were, and how they changed when the river felt like it. Water is so powerful. That river did have a couple bad floods the several years we lived there. One ruined the old railroad trestle bridge with all the fallen trees, and debris. I have a link to that in my profile photos with the trestle photo I took.
10 and 20 degrees cooler is more tolerable. A 4,000 ft elevation really helps with that. 50's through mid 70's is my comfort range. Cooling off at night is imperative so the early mornings, and evenings are pleasant.
Check out Spellings climate index..Douglas gets an 83...us average is 54.

That's not too bad. At least it gets 13" of rain a year. Not completely dry as a bone. I enjoy light rain, and clouds. I know, I'm weird . What can I say, lol. But I can't stand heat with, or without humidity. I got to my daughter's in Raleigh, NC Oct 2 this last fall, and it was too miserable for me even then. God willing I hope to be gone from here before the heat returns, or else .
