Hello everyone.

OK I am totally insane, or at least totally adventurous.

I flew to Detroit last fall and looked around because the idea of owning a house for less than $10,000, fixing it up, and never having to pay a mortgage again was very appealing.

I make my money over the internet so employment rate is not that big a concern for me.

Eventually we bought a house on Buckingham, directly in front of Clark Elementary School.

So please without being super alarmist or saying that everything within Detroit city limits is unsafe, can someone tell me what kind of neighborhood this is?

When I google my new address Grosse Point comes up and it would seem that I am about 2 minites away from being in Grosse Point as opposed to Detroit.

I would love to make some forum buddies here and learn more about that portion of town.

Thanks.
