So, of course, these terms are all relative, but what do you think? Two houses the same price, one is really nice but in a bad neighborhood (high crime) and one is old and needs a lot of work but is in a really nice neighborhood.
Been there, done that. Definitely choose the better neighborhood. I thought I could deal for the price. Worst move I ever made, so glad I am out of there!
I feel the same way as the general consensus. My mom seems to be the opposite. She is "helping" me look for a house. She keeps latching on to these houses that are nice but in bad neighborhoods, sometimes really bad. When she sees the houses I'm considering she spends the whole time picking apart all the problems and doesn't seem to notice that they are in nicer areas with low crime. Then she reminds me about the other "nicer" houses that she liked. You know, the ones where there are sex offenders two doors down and the street has had 6 robberies in a month?
Everyone is going to vote for the bad. It would probably be easier to get a home improvement loan for the bad house because the bank knows the home will have value.

Well, by your name, you're likely a female. And your mom wants you to live in a bad neighborhood?
