My husband and I are moving to Detroit [[from da 'burbs). Our budget is $100k.

I've only been looking online; most of what I've found that interests me is in University District and Sherwood Forest [[I like old houses, hardwood floors, etc.). Occasionally I'll find something I like in Virginia Park, La Salle Gardens, or North Rosedale Park, but those areas set off my spidey sense.

Are those areas safe? What other areas should I consider?
