What are the good areas of Inglewood in Los Angeles

[Shane W.]

Hi guys,

I'm looking to purchase a MFH in the greater Los Angeles area and Inglewood keeps coming up in our searches. Historically Inglewood doesn't have a great reputation, but I've heard that parts of it are on the up.

Can someone please give me some insight as to what areas would be worth pursuing?

Thanks.

If you go to http://www.city-data.com/city/Inglewood-California... you can get a lot of the demographics to see what the neighborhood will support. Just like anywhere in LA, there will be great pockets within an area. I agree with @Joshua McGinnis that The Avenues seems to be coming up. People make good money in all areas if they position themselves correctly. Just make sure that you don't overdevelop in these areas. I've seen rehabs in Compton and Inglewood that didn't sell because they were overbuilt.

Do the research and you will be fine.
