My opinion is based solely on the visual appearance of the neighborhood (condition of houses, lawns, streets etc..)

Think of all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

My fear was that the house would never be cleaned with 6 single guys living there, less care about lawn, maybe just more wear and tear overall. 

So far the worst has been things like getting a dog without telling us, and parking on the lawn, or things like allowing others to stay over (we suspect subleasing, but no proof)... compared to others. .. wow. wow... maybe I don't have it bad... good luck topping @Deanna McCormick's 3 dead bodies.. 

Did you flip the only nice house on the block and now have manicured lawns but both your neighbors have junk cars sitting outside and broken furniture in the front yard?

When I run numbers on a property I include the following for expenses: mortgage payment, taxes, insurance, utilities (at least the water bill), repairs & maintenance, cap x, property management, vacancy, and possibility lawn care/snow removal as well as other utilities (heat & electric).

Right now I have a friend that I pay to do odd jobs like mow the lawn, hang address numbers, hang blinds, etc.

So, depending on where you are looking, the assessed values could be artificially low by statute.
