I think about that in my mind and evaluate neighborhoods whether they're better or worse than where I've lived.A-level: New houses, custom built homes, pretty landscaping, pride of ownership is apparent, big backyards, high re-sale value, good schools, low crime. (~4-6 bedrooms here).B-level: Similar criteria to A-level but without the custom built homes, 2-income families can afford to live here and raise a family, backyards for the kids, 1500-2000 sq ft houses (~3 bed/2-bath homes).C-level: Majority of houses under 100K, visual repairs needed in this neighborhood, 1200 sq ft average, houses close together, some properties worn down, grass not cut, porch awnings sagging, concrete stairs crumbling a bit.D-level: Struggling neighborhoods, garbage on the streets, bars on the windows, higher crime, crowded areas, downtown city area, wouldn't want to walk around here at night.F-level: War-zone, "get me outta here" property, makes you nervous to enter the neighborhood even in daylight.That's my basic approach when I think about properties and what areas make the most sense to invest in.
