Yeah, it is cheap compared to the rest of the city. However, the problem with the current state is that there is NOTHING there other than the apartments. People have to take a bus into the city for any and all convenience items. Also, many of the buildings are old, run down and pose a fire danger. Some of the vacant units are currently used by many homeless squatters and I believe that two major fires occured because of this in 2007 on the island.
