I bought a small house on the west side of falls when I was 24. Never felt unsafe there. It was great. It’s more green than the east side of falls. I had a huge backyard that had beautiful sunset views over tv hill.

Owning can be expensive. You might get hit with a repair that could be thousands of dollars, so you have to be prepared for that. You need a bigger emergency fund.

Ultimately buying young worked out for me. I had a lot of equity in the home when I ultimately sold, but naturally with all investments YMMV.
