Although most homes in the neighborhood are older, many have been well-maintained or renovated. “Investors have done a good job of rehabbing the homes and putting them back on the market,” says Mark Davison, a Realtor with Sibcy Cline. “Because of that, the area is on the upswing regarding the quality of living. If you look up and down the street, it’s not going to be hard to find a house that’s been recently updated.”

Lower costs and rentals attract a wide variety of residents

This, along with the area’s rental options, makes it an attractive community for first-time homebuyers, young families, working professionals and investors. You can find turnkey homes between the low $100,000s and the low $200,000s, and investment properties for less than $100,000.
