Jefferson-Chalmers/Creekside touches Grosse Pointe and it’s on the water, with a lot of housing stock and a strong community organization.Gentrification potential: Grade A-Cornerstone Village/Belgian TriangleCornerstone Village, also known as the Belgian Triangle, is bordered by Kingsville Street, Mack Avenue, Cadieux Road and I-94.

Water especially is getting very expensive.Neighborhoods:  I would avoid the "Huntwood corridor" and maybe the Jackson Triangle.  

I like some of the new direction that the Chief of Police is taking with re-introducing neighborhood policing, but it will take time for these initiatives.Places like Little Italy, Hilltop, Cool Springs, the Triangle, Trinity Vicinity, Waterfront...and of course Trolly Square...are all places with established B-A communities that will make good long term investments, but you're going to see lower cap rates in those areas because these areas are very competitive given how nice they are.

I'll have to begin familiarizing myself with those laws for sure.Bret Allen -that's a strong triangle of skillsets you have, respect.

Just my $0.02 from someone living in the triangle. 

All Other points kept locked inside and out with steel doors (watch fire code regarding this though--you don't want The Triangle Shirtwaist fire). 

Despite Mayor Libby Schaff and the city council being generally on board with the balance of development and existing tenants (and having a great choice in who to kiss ;) - it's not that easy.....it is still costly to get big projects going in Oakland.. and a lot of hurdles before you know if you'll get there (can provide another reference for that)Go listen to some gunshots down by the projects, or hang out with the homeless/recycling crowd at the little mini triangle park on the corner of 32nd & San Pablo.

I own both MFH and SFD in the Iron Triangle and North Richmond areas. 

But the rental I just mentioned is in that triangle and we are happy with it.

Shawn Poellot welcome to the triangle!
