Exploring an Abandoned Neighborhood nicknamed "Buddyville"

From what I understand, this abandoned neighborhood in South Beloit, Illinois was prone to flooding. So, it was condemned and eventually demolished. The houses are completely gone now. The locals called it "Buddyville" and one of the houses appeared to go abandoned in 2015 because a calendar from 2015 was still on the wall.

I grew up down this road. This place became abandoned due the owners inheriting the property from passed away family members and couldn't afford the property taxes.

[@helengrace6731]

Found you from TikTok love seeing abandoned places. Keep up the good work and do what you love

[@EddySVT]

Sees Menards 50 gallon trash can yep definitely Midwest hahahaha

[@user-ns1jc3ge2o]

I always wonder why neighborhoods or portions of neighborhoods become abandoned. So sad

[@lachelnderhund]

Flooding was the cause

[@Djeveldyrker]

@@lachelnderhund That explains the rapid mold

[@K.D.Meyers]

I've lived about a half hour-20 minutes away since 2008 and never known about this. Feels weird knowing that it was likely abandoned at the same time as me living here.

[@jesse584]

sad fans, everywhere ya go xD

[@drunkvax]

I have to imagine they left from flooding and stuff but I don’t get why they just left all this stuff behind. It kinda feels like they just took the essentials and left never coming back

[@mcjoey2878]

Looking at that Pokemon gameplay booklet ; id have to say that house has been abandoned since ‘04-‘05

[@BlackDogAdventures]

Interesting

[@mystery38106]

Looks like a tornado or flood may have happened.

[@cppctek]

I really enjoyed seeing the video. Hey have you found out anything about the Propety or what happened? I hope you all don’t get sick from being around all that mold and mildew.

[@decayingmidwest]

No idea

[@lachelnderhund]

They left because that Beloit was prone to flooding

[@hecking_poptart_olivon_korra]

And asbestos

[@BostonBruinsOWN]

Weird how people just leave all the stuff behind. Creeps me out. I wonder why.

[@StringerMedia]

Awesome video!

[@mayawalaszek9488]

Is it still their or taken down

[@adipocere1066]

Whole thing has been torn down as of the Summer of 2023.

[@sarahhernandez1110]

I was wondering what part of south beloit this is. I don't recall seeing anything torn down this summer but maybe I missed it

[@miudragos9924]

Respect

[@jennyferNumberone]

Wow! I wonder what made all the people leave 😮 .... maybe someone paid them all to leave 🤔🤷‍♀️

[@natuku]

lol what

[@arrowkrueger]

Bro + gross = “gro”

[@urmast3rmind]

i live near a abandoned house.. although there’s a sign on the door that says “danger keep out” i’ve always wanted to go in there

[@JoseFlores-mk1nd]

Saw your videos on tiktok now following on tiktok and subscribed to your channel

[@Sigfreed]

Was a blast!

[@1Blastarr]

Looks like they left in a hurry.

[@hanke2456]

Do you realize just all the refrigerators and air-conditioning units in these homes is several thousand dollars in scrap ?

[@natuku]

They are moldy

[@disciplebill]

@@natuku that doesn't matter much for scrap metal...

[@RedWhiteAndBlue4evr1]

That calendar was put in there by a homeless squatter. Anything they've brought in may be newer. The rest of the stuff is definitely 20+ years old.
