Another Neighborhood Inquiry - Village East and surrounds

[David Hald]

Hey everyone,

I am analyzing a property just north of the Village East of Davenport area east of downtown. 

It "looks" acceptable, maybe C class, via google streetview, and the crime stats are acceptable to my risk tolerance. 

Does anyone have any general or specific comments about this area, or perhaps any experience with properties there? Really any personal experience you have with this area would be useful for me!

Thanks in advance!

Dave

Not sure if you got the feedback you were looking for. I am currently primarily a Bettendorf investor but am expanding my horizons to include Davenport. My target area in general terms is south of locust but East of Bridge St or North of locust in general. Having said that a lot of this really depends on what exactly you are looking for in a property. I will sacrifice some cash flow to own a property with a better chance of less headaches and a better chance at appreciation. Having said this, in my opinion the East village area is very desirable for millenials given the closeness to the village. There are however a lot of run down properties in the area which tends to drive down values and rent. On the outskirts of the east village it can vary drastically block to block. Feel free to message me if you are looking for feedback on a specific address. I have come across a few off market deals in that area which I have passed on recently because they were not really great deals.
