somerville - pro's and con's

[othniel77.livejournal.com]

Dear Somervillians,

I am looking at real estate in the Somerville area specifically, and I was wondering if anyone could give me a list of 3-5 pro's and con's about S'ville.

Also, are there any sections I should specifically avoid due to "safety issues" (i.e., gangs, crackhouses, landlords who enjoy setting fires to collect insurance $, etc.)

Thanks in advance!

Quite likely we've crossed on the sidewalk if you frequent the Diesel. :)

I didn't realize the South Shore was pricier than Somerville, though. Egads.

Best of luck. I think Somerville is well worth a look.
