WOW! And you have the nerve to call me clueless. Do you bother to read some of the other threads on this forum?? To the east, you have an area south of the Michigan State fairgrounds known as Little Beruit. Several weeks ago, there was a thread were a woman grew up there and said it was the worst ghetto in the city. Lots of burned out houses, crack dealers and hookers constantly running in and out of there. Just look on google maps.

To the south, you have the Detroit Golf Club and Palmer Park and to the south of that is the Palmer Park Historic district which have half the apartment buildings boarded up [[as I stated earlier). Some of them are still standing after being burned out. Crack heads and homeless people just love going in and out of them. Going towards the University district is pretty bad. There were threads on here about a common tradition down there called pump and dump where a group of hoods would steal your rims and wheels in under a minute from a parked car beside your house and there was a news report of a guy posted on here who bought a house and was moving out because his new car was pumped and dumped in the same month. I can go on and on about news reports on here.
As for Palmer Woods itself. Everybody in that neighbourhood has to pay a $495 association fee to pay a security guard to ride around the neighbourhood all day to keep the crime rate down. Yet, the violent crime rate in Palmer Woods is still double the Michigan average. What suburb are you comparing it to? A trailer park in Warren? "The estimated
Palmer Woods violent crime rate is 60% lower than the
Detroit average and and the Detroit violent crime rate is 491% higher than the Michigan average."

There are so many threads on here. You must be clueless. I'm not even gonna bother posting about more threads on here about Detroit's crime problems. It's a waste of my time. Just read them yourself.
Just because you "value" something doesn't make it a "bargain". Some people "value" seeing a live baseball game at Comerica Park and overpaying for a ticket from a scalper. It doesn't make it a bargain. Value is your appreciation for something. These houses are not a bargain.
