Lots of cities have restrictions..Arlington limits to a fairly small area of town, Ft.

Just like going to an auction where lots of people are bidding and there is a frenzied atmosphere... and you want to be a part of the action...you bid too, is not a good (controlled) way to spend your money.  

I'll be in town Jan 22-Feb 4 and would LOVE to meet up!

Depending on your budget, I'd recommend areas like Olde Towne East, Clintonville, Merion Village, Grandview, Southern Orchards and a few others.

I would be interested in knowing what town the property is in.
