Personally, my friends that are still APSU students live off-campus in apartments that are on the border of the Sango Area.

Unless you're local and self-managing (and can handle all these little things yourself), all those buildings on Noble (from the EC border all the way to Mayfield Road basically) are tough to make work.

Being that it's right across the border, I'm sure you're bound to meet some Windsor-ites and have the opportunity to grow your network.

This is why flipping can be very easy in some places (Gentrifying neighborhoods in DC, PG County along the DC Border) and near impossible in other places (Much of Montgomery County)I find that the areas that are very very desireable to live in, where you have the top schools in the area, like Rockville, lower Silver Spring, Fairfax, Herndon...basically the wealthy suburbs, the prices in a particular neighborhood will not have a huge variance based on condition...and this is because people buy the house regardless simply for the school district, location, county amenities.  

I know several friends who actually don't live in LAUSD borders but do a intra-district transfer to send their kids to 8-10 rated LAUSD schools and said they love it. 

I think Austin on the border of Oak Park near the golf course and along Madison definitely has some potential, it has some wonderful old buildings that are getting some needed attention, Its near transportation and has all the benefits of Oak Park but without the taxes and schools.

When sold the property last year, it sold in a day at above asking price.The effect on price will be difficult to estimate, but you could look at the effects of other homes that border the cemetery.

So my default offer assumes border line gut job.  

It's right on the border of the ghetto as well.  

So I live in the Lower southern region of Texas by the border (you've probably seen us on Border Wars).Anyways...I'm a newbie with no Investing experience, but highly educated in common sense!
