In my immediate neighborhood and a couple of nearby neighborhoods we are looking at:
Under $100K -- Here is the cheapest house, at $120. 2 BR, 1 BA on a main street.
$250K -- This house is pretty cute, but only 2 BR, 1.5 BA
$500K -- There seem to be a lot right at $499. This one is 4BR, 3BA.
Also, I am totally in love with this house, which is $459K. The downside is that it is right on the edge of the neighborhood, so instead of being on a nice homey street it looks across at a strip mall and funeral home (which seems to be abandoned, I've never seen any cars there or lights on or anything). www.koenigstrey.com/108057083/5269-N-LAWLER-AVE-CHICAGO-IL-60630/resultqFbFoc88qFbFocbBl
$1.2 million, the most expensive in the immediate area. 6BR, 6BA. No pics of the interior because it sold before listing.
$500K -- this is listed for $499,000 (gulf course community)
$1M or above -- this is listed for $1,975,000
All of the homes are in the city I currently live in except for the last. The million dollar home is located in the city just north of me which is about a 10 minute drive.
The cheapest apartment in my neighborhood is $295,000. It is a studio but sq ftage isn't specified (which is scary, considering that average pp sq ft in my neighborhood is $1895 -- I'd estimate it is around 300 sq ft). On top of mortgage and all that, maintenance is $776 a month.
We live in one of the less expensive areas of KC, but it's still really nice, great schools, etc. My family in Chicago was gobsmacked when they found out what we paid vs. what we got when we bought our house a few months ago.
You can get this small 1bd condo for $100K about a mile away
Around $250K...Hard to find too...THere are a few condos in the $100Ks...virtually nothing in the $200-250K range. This is a carriage house about 1mile away
For around $500K--Still over 1 mile away...neighborhood is a little rougher
OR in a better area also 1 mile away (further away from riff raff)
$1M This is the closest over a million to me...$1.15M
The most expensive with in a mile range of my house $4.1M
I want to see houses in your area from these price points. For no particular reason. Home price variations in different regions fascinate me. Because I am a dork like that.
$100K or under
$250K
$500K
$1M or above
(i am working on finding ones in my area)
$100K or Under
$250K
$500K
This was the closest to $500K that I could find at $549K. It is butt ugly from the front but is right on the water Front
