Hi Forum-goers,

I'm relocating to the area and am interested in buying a house. SO will be working in downtown Detroit, and I'd buy a house there except for the high crime rates & probable [[?) issues reselling if it's not a long-term move. The Grosse Pointes seem safe & nice, but not ethnically diverse. Oakland county seems to have low crime as well, but lots of newer houses [[I like the old style -- built by craftsmen).

It would be interesting to see what others think if they were to give me advice. I only have a very limited window to travel to the area & look around, prior to buying...

Thanks for any comments!
