Oh lord, NOT THE KEYSTONE STREET AREA! ....that street is IFFY. Better drive past it day and night.....and maybe during the day, once or twice, before you buy! I'm sorry, but that side of Lawrenceville, is still 'seedy' to me. And, I live on that side! It depends on your block. One block can be cool, and the next block it can be total HAVOC..kids runnin' everywhere. Folks riding up and down the block with their music blasting. LOTS of Section 8 rentals around that area...just so you know.

Thanks for the input. I still think the property is worth a look at but will have to do a couple of pass-thrus.

You're welcome.

Today, Wednesday and Thursday would be good pass thru days since it will be nice weather and folks will be 'out'.

Funny story. I know a woman, in Steubenville, OH, who went and did some pass thru's, during the winter, for this place she was interested in renting. It seemed cool to her, so she signed the lease. When April came, and the weather started to break, she said there was swarms of unruly kids EVERYWHERE...she said they were even hanging from the light posts.

Always drive by a place you're interested in at morning and evening rush hour. The house you want may be on a "short cut" street. And definitely speak to a few neighbors if possible.

57th is a short cut street. I use it all the time.

I know ppl who live on 57th street and it is a quiet part of Upper LV. I think the worst parts for section 8 are Carnegie and the alley ways. It's a shame how section 8 almost destroyed our neighborhood.

We always considered Butler St. as the dividing line. Below Butler is Lower Lawrenceville and above Butler is Upper Lawrenceville.

But you're wrong.

VERY NICE response! I said it is what WE who grew up in Lawrenceville defined as upper & lower. I could care less what the EXACT(your opinion???)definition/line is! Get it??????

Oh, lighten up. I was joking!

[ctoocheck]

If "Upper Lawrenceville" is, according to natives, the part uphill from Butler St, do the natives have some other sort of designation for the "official" neighborhoods of Upper/Lower Lawrencevile? ie. between the part of Lawrenceville south of the Allegheny cemetery vs. the part north of it?
