However, you're super close to Hoboken (can walk to an elevator which takes you to Hoboken and the light rail), and you're bordering Jersey City Heights, which has changed a huge amount in a short time and has restaurants, bars, etc.In my mind there aren't almost any areas I'd consider "bad" (the whole city is like 1 square mile), but it's very block-by-block, so you'll get a sense when you're walking around.

@Patrick Kelly I agree that affordability is reaching new heights, as noted by the S&P/Case-Shiller Boston Home Price Index: http://us.spindices.com/indices/real-estate/sp-cas...There are a few other markets that have gone way higher than their prior highs relative to Boston.  

Hi Nikia, I spend my time in the SE corner of KCK - Rosedale, Gray's Park and Shawnee Heights.

However, I suspect many people thought the same thing at each quick appreciation time such as 1978, 1990, 2003 but as we now know the appreciation from what seemed like exorbitant prices of 1978 would have been a very good return even if purchased at the height of that market (assuming a financed purchase and at least neutral cash flow).I look at San Diego residential RE historical appreciation and am challenged to find any 10 year period in the last 50 years where San Diego appreciation has not exceeded inflation. 

There are code requirements around outlet placement, outlet circuit protection, possibly ceiling height and most importantly egress (fire escape).

Based on building codes, the room has to be at least 70 square feet and at least 7 feet wide, which would make the room at least 7'x10' and 7'-6" ceiling height. an Emergency Egress window and a direct line of exit ( a hallway to an exit or leading to stairs to an exit). there are no requirements for closets. 

They exist for the reason that as the height of their lives their parents managed to breathe long enough to reproduce.

The Cedar / Lee area looks pretty similar to a Maple Heights when you drive through. 

Anything that hangs is bound to break, I am putting in LeD lights bc they last forever and the property has 11 ft ceilings, most tenants can barely change a standard light bulb in a fixture they can reach let alone pull out a ladder and change one with those ceiling height so.

As with every other type of construction they would need to meet code for window height, ingress/egress, etc. and therefore; would not be any more dangerous than other construction methods.
