Too bad it is so close to the bayou and outside the loop. Wow, that is a beautiful home (not so much outside) and cheap! Too bad it is so close to the bayou and outside the loop.

I remember going out there years ago to see some of the place for sale. I was walking around and some cops came up on my and say "what are you doing here??" I told them I was an investor just looking around. They thought I was crazy and said not even the paramedics will come there unless escorted. . Yeah. Retavalized or not. I'd pass. That midtown place we bought might have been a pile but at least it's surrounded by nice stuff. The value of the area is already there. Marie: brave.

The problematic apartment complexes were torn down 2 years ago. (http://swamplot.com/best-teardown-the-official-2010-ballot/2010-12-13/#more-24026). Now Antoine is the central part of a revitalization project (look up Greater Inwood, Livable Center Project). Am I the only one who has some hope for this area? I hope not, I just moved there.
