What's the general take on this area of the city? Possibly one of the next big areas of development along with Stanton Heights?

Morningside is a nice area.   however there is a lot of competition for Property.   I suggest focusing on finding off market deals so you are not competing with the hoards of buyers.   Stanton heights is a mixed bag.  In general the homes are cheaply constructed track homes from the 60-70's.   There are lots of renters so it may keep values lower for a long time.

    Hi @Emily Fraser

    Morningside is good, but generally overpriced for the rents you'll get. Especially if you look on market. 

    What are you looking for? Flips or rentals? 

    Stanton Heights is okay as well, but I agree with @Jamie Dietz. Depends on your strategy though.
