Default How bad is 52nd and Arch/Vine?

Hi all, Sorry to post the generic post, but I have a friend who is looking to move out there. It's a small street called N. Wilton? It's on the corner of 52nd and Arch I think. He is looking to buy something to live in, not exactly sure what the asking price is though. Your thoughts?
Thanks
Bones

That's probably the most violent area in all of West Philly.

My long-time contractor lives on the 300 block of N. Wilton and has for many years. Aside from an occasional car break-in, he reports no problems. Remember the old saying about Philadelphia: it's block by block.
