I know the homes in this area are a little more expensive due to the school district, but I think that could also make it a desirable rental property location for people who want to get their kids into the district.The other thing that intrigues me about the East side is West Clermont getting a new school, and what looks like alot of dollars being put into the Eastgate area to make it more desirable. 

Of course Parkville and Liberty are great areas but they will be more expensive.Make sure you check the school district; not so much for which one is better, but for tax reasons.  

@Joseph Weisenbloom - You should be able to contact the appraisal district and dispute the appraisal. 

How about the complete turn around over in the Broad district?  

Details: North SJ, near the future BART station, town home, 2BD/2.5BA - 2 master bed rooms, low HOA and well maintained, near future developments and another town home complex to be built nearby, ~1100 sq. feet, decent school district (Piedmont High School, 4/5, 10/10 on Redfin), 1 car garage and 1 carport w/a private patio, close to Target and other shopping areas, laundry downstairs and in the building.

The duplex's I'm looking at are right around the UTMB Medical district in Galveston, TX.

Find out what zoning your desired use would be allowed in and then look for those districts and see what's developed there.

This is all public info - you s/b able to visit the tax appraisal district site for the address the property is in, and look up each component (city, county, ISD, hospitals, etc.) of the tax bill.

I did talk to the councilman of this district and he asked me to write a letter to he chair and he will try to help.

Nobody really makes 200%, if you are thinking building a house at $80/sf then selling it at 240/sf, then obviously you are not computing everything, land, loan costs, permits, zoning, tap fees, school district, fre dept fees, etc.
