Are you kidding? It’s a mix on GA Ave. Most are ok. You do have the bar crowd on GA Ave, which can get loud....like any bar crowd. There is occasionally a bad element, like the guy I stumbled upon pooping outside of the 7-11 or the murders at the sleazy hotel in SS. I disagree that people are snobby about them. The most annoying aspect of the neighborhood is the church on 13th! The congregation parks crazy and stand in the middle of the street after services. Totally rude!


Any thOughts on making the house kalmia feel safer? Bars on windows?

I agree. I thought $825-850K would be about right. Also, last sale price was $700K in 2014, so I can't imagine they'll sell for $200K more just four years later? However, strangely, the Redfin estimate is $941K--I don't think that's accurate for this home.

It's a cute place. Distracted by the framed artwork in photo 5--I wonder who's in the picture. Nicer, bigger backyard than I would've expected. Furniture looks like an older couple, so curious why they'd be moving such a short time later.


No way I'd pay 900K for that.

If you have the stomach for it, there are two foreclosures on 13th St between Iris and Juniper. One is going for auction next month.

That was the house on Floral that listed at $799K. Word is that it's going to close somewhere around $950K.

--Losing bidder on that house


This house was pretty clearly underpriced from the moment it listed.


Closed at 910


This makes me sad. It was a lovely shaded back yard but the upstairs was wackadoo (odd bedrooms and closets/bathrooms connecting them), the basement small, etc.

Under $850K? No, unfortunately. But, there is the modern-looking new build coming up at 16th & Roxanna. Also, the huge home at 17th and Juniper that sold for $1.38 last year is being renovated and looks almost ready.
