I'd make sure to get to the Black Diamond meeting in Waltham (2nd location in Worcester).  

The current demographics show a predominately black neighborhood with most inhabitants living well below the poverty line.Please see this very interesting website on overtown-http://overtowner.comRegarding the difference between Overtown and Little Haiti, if you view it from a sheer geographical standpoint you can see the distinct difference.Little Haiti is a fairly large area with 2 borders that are very haute couture and 2 borders that are like a faux pas.Overtown is a smaller precinct with hot real estate in every direction.

You can take a picture of any document and it'll make it into a black-and-white PDF.

I agree with @Eric Black, rentals in this part of the state don't make sense unless you've owned for a while or you find a great deal well below market. 

Right near here is the Black Diamond meeting in Waltham (2nd location in Worcester) which is a must go to for you.  

I went to some of the events organized in my area (NEREIA in Chelmsford, Black Diamond in Waltham, and Justin Silverio's quarterly meeting).

Another great local event is the Black Diamond meeting in Waltham (2nd location in Worcester).  

Of the two I can think of off the top of my head, one had a significant black mold issue, the other was a structural issue (I think the former owners pulled out at least one load-bearing wall).
