SUDO Make me a SAMCH
Rushing a house purchase is bad anytime, its especially bad right now. If I had to put money on deals being better or worse in 12-18 months, I'd vote for the latter.

A little late to the convo but, I love the south side. I'm close to 55/hiawahta,35w,94,and 494; not to mention the light rail has several stops. I've got a Target, Rainbow,Cub within 5 min drive (not to mention Matts, Chatterbox, and the 5-8 club). I like the divierstiy in the Corchran, longfellow, park..etc. neighboorhoods. It's the city so the crime rate may be a little higher than you want (My wife parked on the street and left her gps out and of course it got stolen), but as long as you don't leave pricey items in your car (if you park on the street, which I don't) or drive a honda you should be okay. The people are really nice and friendly.Parks, big and little; though the Property Taxes suck. My 2cents; south minneapolis gets a worse reputation than it deserves.
