I really want to see someone develop the empty lots between king/charles. I think just having more people around will help shake the perception of that area. I imagine the further away from this corner, the nicer/safer it gets. I really like the neighbourhood location, and I'm sure it's a lot better towards Church. Especially around the lofts. Victoria Park is nice and close too. That's why I picked this stop in particular to only go up in value and "gentrify".

I agree ... I think it's getting nicer, but houses in the neighbourhood are typically selling for under $300K, when on the other side of Victoria Park, $400K is more typical.  A nice neighbourhood and a good chance of solid long-term appreciation.
