Berlin is still a biomass mill town, that can mean heavy truck traffic and slight odor on bad days. Had a relative go to college there and visited them for a weekend. Needless to say it's an interesting mix of rundown poor to working lower middle class. After first year she was there downstairs neighbor shot himself out of depression. ( he lived) but drug use at the time was high in the area. Visit it before you really buy anything. Towns can clean up, and places can turn around. Cheap market though.

Do you mean the biomass power plant? And what does that smell like? Similar to a wood stove?

I don’t feel it’s as dangerous as people claim but the neighbor shooting himself is definitely more of what you’re in for as opposed to being mugged in the street or something. Even in on the East Side. I think it’s like Delphi Indiana in that if someone were to commit a random brutal act of violence, all eyes would be on it bc everyone does know everyone.
