Thoughts?!

 

I know it's in a "less developed" area... is the crime bad?

I wouldn't recommend it. Not yet. You're very close to the West 28th cut through to the Lakeview Terrace public housing just to the north, and when I was reporter (I left the newspaper only five weeks ago), I would see quite a bit of crime incidents reported in that area (Detroit and West 25-28th). Most of it was after midnight and involved drugs, prostitution, robberies and assaults. CPD hasn't gotten control of this area yet and until they do I'd stay away.

I get the crime reports for that area. All the crime occurs between 2 and 3am. I'm pretty sure that it has to do with the clubs in that area. I walk and run by the area all the time, its totally safe otherwise.

Is the Detroit Ave Lofts even a completed project?

^They're referring to the renovated building on the north side of Detroit, not the proposed new construction.

5 shot at 6:30 am?

 

I know this is across the Shoreway, but it's just across the shoreway.  I don't know the full story of crime in that area, but I'm willing to bet there's a fair share of crime that happens outside the 2 am to 3 am window.

 

That being said, go there yourself and see how it seems to you.  It's probably not as bad as some people say, and not as good as others say.

I understand that. I just didn't realize they were already renovated. Looking on Google Maps, they don't look it.
