I am interested in buying a place in Syracuse. This house is located on Wilkinson Street and the zip is 13204. Could someone please tell me if this is a good area /street or is it a slum area?
Not good, not bad. As my grandmother would say metà metà .
Appearance-wise...the westside is one of more depressing parts of the city IMO. In the 1990s, this neighborhood was used for the NYS driving test (the test to get a drivers license). Not sure if this is still the case.

I grew up on that street(#427), like bellafinzi mentioned it's not good but not bad either; guess kinda in the middle. I do remember those driving tests, as a 6 year old I thought some people had some reallllly bad parking skills lol! I've driven down it a few times over the years and it looks much nicer than in the 90's. Lots of the homes have been remodeled/fixed up since then. I remember there was a small park where I'd go as a kid(down the block to the east) which was pretty cool. I moved to Clay in '98(about 15miles N-NW) it's mostly suburban but is growing fast.

Good luck with your house finding!
The house I'm talking about On the real estate website I'm looking at has the home for sale for $26,500 . Zillow.com has the house valued at $81,500 it's a 6 bedroom 3 bath.. there doesnt appear to be much rehab needed, would you pull the trigger on this deal?
if it is only $26,500 then I would be very very nervous. If it doesn't need any rehab then there must be some other reason for the low price. Can you go visit the property?

Yes I plan to take the trip this saturday and see it. I am thinking this is either in a bad street or the house has liens on it or it is worse than they are presenting it to be. I will go with an open mind since this is a REO property
