[quote=Anonymous]This area is pretty rapidly gentrifying.  It depends how you feel about being a first mover and getting into an area that is still rough but improving.  We bought on the NE side of the Hill in 2003. It was still a little rough then and we had trouble with petty crime (car break-ins, once our house was broken into) but nothing violent.  There used to be people who loitered on stoops and there was more trash on the ground than I wanted.  However, we got a huge house with two car parking for a really reasonable price.  Flash forward ten years and our house has doubled in value, the neighborhood is very safe, there are tons of kids and the local school is pretty strong, lots of new restaurants and shops, etc.  Basically, it is a great neighborhood.  I think that Trinidad is on a similar trajectory and it all depends on whether or not you want to be there through the transition years.  We didn't have kids until this year (not that we intended to wait quite that long) but I would have been comfortable with kids in the neighborhood five years ago.  It is all about personal taste and personal comfort level with things not being upscale for a few years. [/quote]
