I dunno what to tell you. Visit in person and get back to me?
I'm not actually trying to shun or shame people who are happy to live in such a place, there's no use arguing over matters of taste, eh?
FWIW I've lived in a few places and I find I'm happier the more "homey" the neighborhood. I'd rather live in a smaller or less fancy place in a living neighborhood than a big fancy place in a dead zone. But that's me, eh?
