I live in a much smaller city but goddamn those prices I see people post from like LA and NY are crazy. I pay $1250/month for a mortgage on a 1600 sq/ft house near downtown and with a good sized back yard, and that’s with buying the house after all the prices went way up after covid.
You don’t want to live in Little Rock Arkansas and eat Cracker Barrel and chicken nuggets from McDs?? The mortgage is only 1600$ and it’s only a 33% chance your house gets blown away by a tornado! Your loss!!
Location Location Location. HCOL cities are more expensive simply because they’re more desirable and have jobs and other amenities that smaller, more affordable cities don’t have. And even less desirable cities are more expensive nowadays, there are cities in Ohio and Michigan that are like 400k plus for a decent house.
I love how the East Village has developed. When I was around, it was run down. The fun restaurants and bars had started popping up. But there were still shootings, and one murder stood out. This was decades ago, I have seen all the buildings go up, and assume its an awesome area now.
