Need advice on Philadelphia property location

[Kendra Mattson]

I'm not sure if I selected the right category for this, but I am in San Diego and have been looking at out of state deals for cash flow. I found one in Philadelphia, PA that I could snag for pretty cheap. It needs a good amount of work, but my main concern is whether anyone would want to live in this area of town. I would, of course, visit the property myself if I go forward with an offer, but I'd like to screen it out early if the location just doesn't make any sense. According to Google Maps, it's between West Philadelphia/West Parkside and Powelton Village. I tried looking up crime stats, but the website I usually use doesn't have Philadelphia apparently.

Does anyone have any insight into what the good/bad neighborhoods here are or how I could determine which this is (before I get on a plane)?

Thanks!
