Maybe it's cleaned up now but the neighborhood doesn't exactly look very nice. A lot of dumpy houses, shitty cars, and not exactly very good to walk anywhere. Any bike lanes nearby?

I'd say 3 million is... fucking insane for that place!!!
Lived in that neighborhood for about 15 years and I don't have nearly the same experience. We just sold our place last year and honestly, while the area's been great early on, the last five or so years has been horrible.

With real estate prices skyrocketing, all the new comers now need (illegal) rental suites to afford their homes. Parking's been horrific because tenants across the street are parking in front of our lawn. More people just contributes to more problems (hit and run being one of them, and I was almost a victim once).

GL on the $3m price tag. That house better be decked out with 24karat gold bath tubs or something. Our land size was slightly smaller but with an older house of course (around 25-30yrs) and we sold for roughly half that. Newer houses around the same size are selling under 2M.
