She can walk to the Caltrain station.  

Normally, these things (at least utilities hikes) get a mention on the local news station. 

It is actually one of my nicest properties, a townhouse which is worth $300K very close to the train station. 

if I were you, I would stop in the police station myself today and see what they have to say after you explain the situation.

I rent in a college town of College Station and my hard learned advice is to list your properties VERY early and make sure your lease has a longer than average renewal lead time.  

@Dean Klein,please go to the nearest police station and if they like to talk, check what security firm has best relation with them and the activity in the area surrounding your target block.i think ADT will lock you into a 3 years contract, but they are a few other alternatives, wireless based, which you can move/install yourself. sorry my mind is gone today so no link/name.go to the local church on Sunday or check with the most involved neighbor on the block.maybe they are initiatives on the way like installing a city/semi-private camera  or neighborhood watch committee.maybe check with local police/firestation, maybe a recent rookie/hire needs a place.but on the lines of what @Al Williamson, said you are not a slumlord,you are offering nice affordable housing in a working neighborhood. so show that you belong there, be respectful, and walk with no fear and with a purpose.

They recently obtained a contract to start building the high speed rail station, which will attract a lot of people for work.

NORADA is stationed in CA, and they are not transacting there !!!!

Near bus stops, light rails stations, and freeway on ramps.

We are looking to be able to retire from here as my duty station options are limited.
