    "I lived a couple of blocks away for 18 years. While everything in the review from 6 years ago was definitely true, I know for a fact that activity has greatly improved. The scsu attendance is greatly reduced, so the walk- by traffic has diminished significantly. The university had extended their discipline of student activity to include bad behavior off-campus. On the downside, there are far fewer events held on campus. It is wonderful to walk to downtown, even to Lake George and to the public library, depending on how much exercising you want to do! Multiple bus routes make a stop at Miller Library so it is very convenient to get around. The Neighborhood’s homeowners would welcome the Rehab of this beautiful jem. There is an historical preservation committee, and the members have a great deal of experience in returning homes to their initial glory. As this is on auction, it could be that the pipes were frozen, and any buyer would be looking at the replacement of the plumbing system. Check the utility records to see if the usage was high during the winter. Good luck searching for the right house for you and your family!"

    "I have lived in this neighborhood since since elementary school and now I am living here with my own child. It’s convenient in its distance from downtown, SCSU, and parks, but that comes at a very high cost: vandalism, violence, drug use, loud parties, properties sliding into disrepair... it’s a long list of cons. It’s not uncommon to call the police several times each week to report crime within sight or earshot of our home. A common example of this area: most parents let their kids play outside in the yard when the weather is nice, but in this neighborhood that also means outdoor parties or (at the very least) loud people roaming from house to house. With bass blasting, public urination (all the time), and all kinds of offensive, vulgar, profane language being yelled or screamed at any point (day or night), it is really stressful to let children play outside even in a fenced yard. I truly love some of the older homes in the neighborhood but the student housing makes it very difficult for a family to live safely or comfortably. "
