The Good

Michael’s Take Broker opinion, based on the sourced facts above
My take: Kelliwood is really 14 neighborhoods, so I would start with the section, not the name. Confirm the county, the utility district and the association on the appraisal account, then look at the house: a lot of these homes are 25 to 35 years old.
