Home "niceness" is subjective, but I think most would agree there are plenty of dumpy homes on the south end of Bham. They're mostly vacant, investor owned sites, many of which will be redeveloped into million dollar properties.
And there are lots of streets that aren't "dumpy" but basically have the same housing as Hazel Park, South Warren or the East Side of Detroit. Certainly not conventionally "nice".
You honestly think these homes are desirable for families?

In 15 years these homes will probably all be gone, but for now, this is an extremely modest street, with nothing going for it outside of location.
