St. Paul West Side?

We just purchased our first rental property in St Paul MN.  We got a good deal, for the Twin Cities, at the bottom of Summit Hill on Grand Ave.  Looking forward to getting it rented out. 

I'm heading that way today and looking at a great fixer upper on the bluff in West Saint Paul.  The property isn't right on the bluff but it's close.  Anybody have any experience with West St Paul rentals?  It has a bit of a North East Minneapolis feel to it when I drive through, minus the great brew pubs.  The location seems premium with great views, classic old houses and easy access to downtown and the highway system but the prices are ridiculously low.  What gives?  I have to assume as more and more people wise up to the inconvenience and ho-hum that is the American Suburb, these areas will continue to increase in value.  In the mean time however, any insight on the rental issues here?
