My neighbors are good people, etc but the immediately surrounding areas are terrible. Too many 'thugs' standing around at noon on a weekday with nothing better to do than to look 'cool'. I want to move out of here to a place where peoples 'rims' aren't worth more than their home.
Planning on trying to leave next year; put the house on the market this spring/summer and had VERY minimal showings (5 I think). Pretty much at the point where I have to sell it and probably break even at best after 4 years.

Good luck dude - my dad finally sold our house a year or two ago. We moved out in '84 and he'd been renting it out ever since. For a nice 4 bedroom house he really didn't get much for it. The people he sold it to weren't going to live there either - it was gonna be a rental property for them too.
We were talking about it and he bought the house brand new in 1970 - he opted for it over a slightly smaller older house in Praire Village. Had he gone that route he have made plenty of money on his house as an investment. Oh well, hindsight is 20/20.
