ANDALUSIA/BENSALEM -- good or bad for buying a house?
I was driving around Andalusia today and I really like what I see! There seems to be a little more space around the houses than Tacony or Bristol Borough(where I'm also looking). I really like the good variety of Victorian and late Victorian houses. My father spent his childhood in this town and from what he tells me and what I've seen of it, it seems that the area has a lot of elderly people(i.e., people that raised their baby boomer kids and are now retired). He also told me that the taxes are decreasing because of the Philly Park Casino that opened up, and that my uncle(who resides in Andalusia) has been getting tax rebates! However, I was warned that it is more expensive than Bristol though(and I can see why! It's a very cute town. Not that Bristol isn't cute though too).
What do you guys know about Andalusia, real estate wise? How are the house prices there compared to other nearby neighborhoods, such as Somerton, Tacony, or Bristol Borough? Are there many houses becomming available on the market? My guess is that because there's a lot of elderly people residing there, perhaps some of the houses will be available when the elderly move into nursing homes. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for the feedback!
