Cheaper unrenovated house in nicer area vs more expensive updated house in worse area.

My wife and I are disagreeing about the most important aspects of the house.

I say we can’t change the location, but can always fix up the house. She doesn’t want something that needs immediate work in more than a few ways.

She wants to live in the worse part of town because the house is renovated nicely but also very close to her work. The house I like is 10 minutes away while she could walk to work (but that scares me due to part of town)

I like this one…I’m handy and could easily update floors and such myself with the extra money from significantly reduced mortgage.
