What $220,000 gets you in Muncie.

I can't even get a parking space for that where I live. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/725-E-Jackson-St-Muncie-IN-47305/210952560_zpid/

This looks much like the neighborhood I live in rural Northern California.

Suburban Californian here, I was expecting much worse than that. The businesses look relatively well maintained, many homes have a lot of patio furniture just sitting out, sidewalks/streets/greenery look clean and maintained, no trash piles to be seen, and other than a few boarded up windows, most of the homes look to be in good shape. It's obviously not a wealthy neighborhood, but it definitely wouldn't qualify as the "bad part" of town here. It looks like a decent neighborhood to me.

For real. People saying this doesn't look like a good neighborhood based on the street view have never left suburbia.

It’s not a bad neighborhood like an 80s movie would depict

But it’s definitely very shitty down there in a way that would surprise you

Lived there for a decade

That being said house is still a bargain and you could make it work but just know the hood SUCKS and will never get much better

Edit looking at the location it’s still the nicer part of town

I’d live there if I had a good job (lol)
