davis_squareDear 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!

Date: 2003-07-30 03:53 am (UTC)I lived in East Somerville for 2.5 years and the worst that ever happened is that Taco Loco screwed up my order.
Since I moved to Davis Square in 1999, my apartment has been broken into twice (imagine hearing a noise, getting up to see what it is, and finding someone's hand reaching in) my plants have been smashed three out of four summers, and my front yard gets puked in nearly every weekend during the school year.
I do enjoy the neighborhood, I'm not complaining (nobody makes me live here), and that's my take.
