Investment Property: Growth Potential in Franklinton neighborhood?

[Vishal M.]

Hi, 

I am an out of state investor and looking to purchase a Duplex for investment in Franklinton neighborhood. However, I am not sure if you think this is a still a good area from investment pov?
I am aware Franklinton had big projects like Gravity 2.0 but I often see mixed reviews about that project and I am not sure if its still a good area?

My investment goal is to hold atleast 4+ years and optimize for price appreciation than Cash flow

Hey! Franklinton still has solid potential, especially if you're in it for 4+ years and focused on appreciation. The Gravity projects brought attention and some real momentum, but it's true progress has been uneven. Some areas are seeing major upgrades, while others still feel pretty rough around the edges.

If you buy in the right pocket close to development zones or where new builds are popping up there’s room for growth. Just make sure you really know the block you’re buying on. Price appreciation is still possible here, but it's definitely a block-by-block game.
