Yeah, this was a fun exercise, but we're talking about something that costs three times what my house is worth. And who would want to heat some of these monsters, anyway.
This is what 300000.00 buys in my home town, Lincoln Park NJ.

Sad, isn't it?
and in boston you'd be lucky to get something the size of the garage...and in derelict condition LOL
very interesting
A quick search at
http://www.recolorado.com for $300,000 value homes in Denver found a few. Check this one: http://tinyurl.com/qsylc - there's a 1946 frame 1050 square foot house on the lot, being sold at $300K as a scrape-off for the value of the LOT ONLY.
My place! Seriously, with the housing bubble in this area, the asking price for condo units just like mine is hovering just under $300,000. Crazy.
Oh... Question. When a $60,000 house was the dream house, what was a $60,000 house?
Ai yi yi... I live in Boston. (Fortunately bought my condo 8 years ago.) I checked it out - currently, $300k buys you...deep sigh... a 4th fl walkup condo, 600 sf.
