The neighborhood was sketchy, but we weren't approached by anyone. It's a 2-story quadplex and we were on the top. Because of the wooden floors we could hear the tenant next to us. They were walking at all hours and we could hear their steps. There was a critter in the attic that we would hear at night. Other posts have mentioned this. Also, the water pressure was low. The heater was a gas heater and located in the front of the house. Layout of the house was shotgun. If you think you can see past these small inconveniences then you'll be fine.
