 I did a quick search in Realtor.com to check out the available houses

Most of the ones I liked looked nice, however they were very old. So that's not for a novice. An experiences flipper could handle it. And most built in the 1960 and back would have asbestos ISSUE and that's a red flag. I wouldn't touch it.

There weren't that many available houses that I would like to buy. Most of the new construction is way off price wise compared to the location next to the older houses.
Besides, even though you might not have kids, the rating of the schools is a good way of finding out if it's a good location to invest or live in.

At this point I would certainly pass that area. I still prefer Ardmore and Havertown areas of PA. However, a personal visit to those areas would give a better picture if they are worth buying a place.

It's located at the intersection of two rivers. Flooding could be an issue as well.

It seems it's more rural. As to transportation you certainly need a good running car!

Here is the result of my searched:

About Venice

  1. Venice was built on wooden piles – True. The city is constructed on millions of wooden piles driven into the clay and sand beneath the lagoon. Alder wood, known for its water resistance, was primarily used, along with oak and larch. 2. The wooden piles have petrified over time – Partially true. The piles haven’t literally turned into stone (petrification), but they have become extremely hard. This is because they are submerged in oxygen-poor water, which prevents decay and allows minerals from the water to gradually reinforce the wood. 3. St. Mark’s Campanile stands on 100,000 piles – False. The bell tower is supported by about 10,000 wooden piles, not 100,000. 4. Basilica della Salute required over a million trunks – Likely an exaggeration. The basilica does rest on thousands of piles, but claims of a million are probably inflated. 5. Piles are driven up to three meters deep and spaced half a meter apart – Generally accurate. The depth and spacing vary, but...
