Lakewood, WA
Anyone investing in (or avoiding) Lakewood, Washington.
I've obviously noticed the higher than average crime rate, but it also has lost of rehabbable multi families, a large number of people looking to rent and a reasonably low vacancy rate, and new programs and infrastructure(they just put in a new sidewalk and they have better than average public transportation). Their appreciation values are also extremely good.
It seems like this area is promising, but I'm worried a bit about the reputation. Any thoughts?
Thank you.
