Need advice on a Davenport, IA property

[Murali P.]

I am looking at a property in the E Central Park Ave / Brady St neighborhood of Davenport, IA. This is a single family home, buy and hold for long term rental purposes. Mainly interested in knowing if this is a safe area for families.... in general terms is it a good neighborhood to buy? I am from St. Louis and so no knowledge of the Davenport market.

It's a pretty blue collar neighborhood, I actually used to live pretty close to there.  Crime is not bad, every couple of years you hear about a string of garage break-ins or something on the news but it usually ends up being a group of kids that they catch.  In general if you are north of Locust St (which this is) you are ok.  Brady St is a very busy street (3 lane one way) so in general homeowners don't want to live right on it but I don't think renters would mind.
