Those are my thoughts exactly. I see moving away and letting someone else "deal with problems" is a great way to devalue a neighborhood. It seems more and more people are buying new instead of fixing up the old.
I intend on paying movers to do as much as I can afford.
It costs a lot to move. Not sure about US but here we have stamp duty. For me it's a year's salary. Another half years salary for agent fees. A month's salary for removalist costs. The only way to make it feasible financially is to do a reno project but that's more stress.
Selling stuff and being creative with space may solve issues. Living with "lower class" people isn't necessary a bad thing it may be good to prevent living in a bubble.
Yeah moving is stressful. If you do go ahead I wonder if there are services to manage everything for you. If you have the money maybe get the new place furnished ahead of the move.
