However, I just realized that the backyard leads to Indian Creek (a creek).What are the pros and cons of purchasing property by water or a creek?

Neighborhoods to look at:East English Village Indian Village West Village Islandview North End Boston Edison Mexicantown Grandmont Bagley University District Palmer Park Sherwood Forest

Petersburg, Largo, Palm Harbor, Dunedin, Safety Harbor, Indian Rocks Beach, Seminole, and Pinellas Park!

There are better times and worse times to sell but I think the "rules" about this are far overhyped.I sold on of my homes on Chirstmas Day to an indian family.

Matthews, Waxhaw, Indian Trail areas are good for me too.

What I have seen so far on the mainstream searches (zillow, redfin, etc) has led me to the newer homes on the 603/Indian River Rd area, south east of salem.

Hi,we have plan to buy a property in the Windsor, and curious to know that whether is it good idea to buy a property near boarded up houses like Indian Road, Mill Street, Rosedale Avenue, Felix Avenue , Edison Street or Bloomfield Road.Once it is cleared that who wins in the end, City or Ambassador Bridge , will the price go UP on the houses in the neighborhood , or it will be mare headache for the neighborhood  and what is the fate of neighborhood in either cases....we have already put offers on property on Edison Street and Rosedale Ave.

I personally own in Indian Wells and Montego.

Check out city-data for demographics.For Syracuse it says:White alone 46.9%Black alone 29.7%Hispanic  10.0%Asian alone 8.7%Two or more races 3.7%American Indian alone 0.8%Read more: http://www.city-data.com/city/Syracuse-New-York.htmlI would guess this is similar to Rochester and Buffalo and Albany.I lived in Ithaca for a while, but don't really pay attention to colors....I would guess it is pretty diverse too, but prices seemed a little higher to me in that area.
