Calling all New Bedford Investors

[Kellen Driscoll]

Hey Guys, I was considering investing in New Bedford due to the relatively cheaper purchase prices compared to other places in Massachusetts. Can anybody give me some areas to stand clear of and also those that other people currently invest in? Any general advice is welcome too! Thanks folks!

I like the area between downtown and buttonwood park, east to Allen street and west to rte 6.  The closer to downtown and the hospital or closer to buttonwood the better in my opinion.  As you get closer to rte 6 the neighborhoods get a little tougher and there are a couple projects over that way to stay away from.  It can vary from block to block quite a bit so you definitely should drive around to get a feel or look on the google street view.  North end (north of brook lawn park) is nice as well and south of Hazelwood park in the south end.  My least desirable area of New Bedford is what I call the panhandle.  The south end kind of looks like Florida so the Ashley Park area is what I’m referring to as the panhandle.
