I have been searching for homes in Ellensburg, Washington recently to keep things manageable and close to where I live.  

@Robert Obniski In the South I'd explore Hyde Park & Kenwood;  On the Northside explore Lincoln Park & Logan Square, on Far Northside explore Rodgers Park; Near West Side Greektown, Little Italy, Tri-Taylor, Pilsen.  

You can then advertise the deal w/ a price and indicate it includes the back taxes.
