hi guys, sorry to resurrect an old thread but I am thinking about purchasing a property here as a home (not rental income). I am a FTB working in the City and this location is really convenient. I know there isn't much happening in the area (though Mile End and Bow seem to be gentrifying) but just wondering if the area is safe and if you would consider purchasing in this areas - e.g., pros vs cons. Appreciate any feedback.
