Hey, I'm moving to Detroit after graduating from law school for a job. I will be working in the downtown area. I would like a nice older house in Detroit proper or an inner ring suburb. I don't have kids and don't see myself getting married in the forseeable future so schools arn't a huge deal for me. My budget is 250,000 but i would prefer to stay below 200,000. I would like to have a house in a fairly safe neighborhood. I was raised in Columbus,OH in a upper middle class mainly white suburb so urban living is somewhat new to me. I looked at some homes in East English Village and I liked the type of homes but I also saw many abandoned homes for sale there. I'd like to know the neighborhoods that would be good for me to look at. Thanks,
Ben
