OK we finally moved into a house big enough for my large family. And I knew when we moved that it was not in the best neighborhood but I really liked the house. we will be here a year in February and I am ready to move already. In the last week I have had to comfort my kids when there were some fights outside. And just last night there was a fight in where a woman hit another woman in the head with a baseball bat. From what I understand the people who live on the left side of me do not get along with the people who live on the right side of me. These people will fight with each other over everything. And its not just the teens its the parents also. I still love my house but I love my kids even more and I cant risk them using guns instead of bats.

I would be looking into moving right away. It sounds like you are sitting in the middle of a very explosive situation. You don't want to be there when it goes off. Find a real estate agent that can help you find a nicer, quieter neighborhood. It might take a little research but in the long run, it will be so much better for your children. Tell the real estate agent what type of house you are looking for, and what you like and don't like in a house. You might be lucky and find another house similar to the one you have.

Totally understand. I would probably think more into the safety of my children - if that was happening in our neigborhood or apartment complex, I would be out of there.

Hi Lifez2short! Gosh, that is terrible! I do agree with you that it is not a nice neighborhood after all. I think that it is better you move and not expose your children with these kind of environment. Good luck and I hope you will find a good neighborhood for you and your family. Take care and have a nice day.

That is really messed up. I do have something to tell you in hopes to help you out. A realtor friend of mine told us one time that it takes 2 to 3 years to break even if we were to sell the house we bought. So that said, it's just information for you to use in case you have to move out. Yes I agree, your kids come first way before any ole house or money but just wanted to pass along that info. I wish you the best of luck.

This is one of the biggest factors for me that will affect where we move to... we are moving house and looking for a nice area but how are you supposed to know what your neighbours are gonna be like? I mean you cant just go knocking on dorrs before you move in and have them vetted can you? It sounds to me like you have had some bad luck but i wouldnt let them drive me away especially if i loved my home! Just try to keep away from them, dont get involved no matter how hard they try to pull you into it. Are you friendly with any of the women at the moment? Let them fight it out between them.. its their problem!
