South South St Louis (Patch & Carondelet) Good or Bad?

[Andrew Moore]

I should have asked months ago, but hope to here your thoughts on the Patch & Carondelet areas of South City for multifamilies?  As an out of state investor, I am seeing some good cash flowing properties. I understand it can be block by block, but do the guys on the ground have a local pulse? At it's worst, improving, steady? Specifically in Patch off of Broadway..

I haven't invested in either of these areas but invest in nearby Dutchtown.  I have looked in these areas and generally they are a bit nicer than Dutchtown, at least in my opinion.  I would invest in these areas if I found a property I liked there - I just haven't thus far.  Generally C class areas with some small signs of movement in the right direction.  Just my two cents.
