Its address is No. 409 Linsen N. Rd. I notice that lots of newly renovated apartments are for sale. ---

In Taiwan, for me, yes. Water pipe problems and stuff like that are almost guaranteed at that age, often way earlier, pain in the butt. ---

In retrospect, I would say that the opening of the Zhongshan Rd. MRT station made Linsen N. Rd. a more convenient and thus also more attractive area to live. ---

There should be a stop on the Green Line too. ---

I forgot to add in my last comment that it was a matter of time before investors and apt. owners it would be much more profitable to renovate their old apartments there and then sell them to those families that can afford them, rather than renting to prostitutes ---

I think the distance between MRT stations is about 1km on the Green Line. That’s alright. Walking 500 meters to the street is not too much to ask, I think. Zhongshan Elementary Station in the north is even closer. Why, of all places in Taipei, are you interested in that particular area/building? Taipei City in general would be too expensive for me, but if you are looking for an area that is going to be modernized in coming years and decades, it should be Wanhua. Lot of old buildings waiting to be demolished and once the MRT Line (Wanda-Shulin) is in operation that shabby area (looking like the city’s nutsack on a map) will be changing to the better for sure. Youth Park is kind of nice. ---
