Is Carrick PA ( Pittsburgh ) a good place to invest?
I’ve had heard conflicting information about Carrick Pa . Some say it’s a decent area and others say it’s infested with drugs specifically heroin. Does anyone have any experience investing in Carrick ? What has your experience been there? Would you invest in Carrick again or would you choose another area?
Thanks for the responses!

Elise and her team are great. I love being able to reach out and receive quick, friendly responses from knowledgeable people.
Carrick is on my radar too. It’s still in city limits. Any farther out and your start getting into other townships and boroughs. Property taxes can vary higher than the city. Something to keep in mind when running numbers.
