Who lives in Wider Park, Louisville, KY?

[Bob Pester]

Hi folk,

What kind of people lives in Wider Park, Louisville, KY? I was looking closely at home on the Florence Ave, left to the Louisville Ave. It looks like a calm area. I’ve checked the crime rate, it isn’t high there. My broker told that it’s a solid C area. I guess that neighborhood is decent for families, but at the same time school test scores are low.

Any information that you Guy's can provide would be greatly appreciated and very helpful.

Your broker is right about the C class rating. That neighborhood and its surrounding areas are a good area for rental properties. It can be block to block in terms of the crime mapping though. One thing to keep in mind is that our school system is having a massive amount of turnover at the administrator level and it's a magnet school program so children don't always go to the closest schools.
