I am considering a move to the East Palmer area known as the "Art Center". I am looking at a place at the corner of Palmer and John R. My wife is a bit concerned about crime and I'm a little worried about being isolated in the wintertime; except for all the CCS students I suppose.

Anyhow its got a dishwasher! and a washing machine! so we'd really like to move, just wondering if anyone has any experience with the area.
