Hi all. Looking to buy property in a town outside a major US city. The area itself is a bit out of our price range but we are considering buying a house at below-average price and fixing it up as we go along. The house would be livable but around the century mark and would need some updates.

The area itself is very desirable. The school district one of the top in the state, it is a short commute into the city center via a direct train line and it is a rare suburb that has walkability/nightlife of its own. Given that the houses we are looking at are older, is it worth going this route or should we go for a less desirable area with a newer/updated house?

We found a very nice single with a yard and a garage that we would like to put an offer in on but it does need some updating. This is hard to find in our price range in this area as it is an older area with mostly row homes.

We will be first-time home buyers so we're a little hesitant to get in over our heads on this. Any advice or experiences would be appreciated.

Thanks!
