re: Starter homes under 450k in a decent neighborhood

Milton used to be horse farms and 1 acre minimums. There is zero history of starter homes in Milton, so it's just not really useful to look at. Moreover it's not really where you'd want to live in your 20s, its where all the Buckhead and Sandy Springs people fled to in the last decade or so to congregate away from both hood rats and the suburbanite salt life types. Great area, but somewhere you graduate to at this point.

That's hardly considered a neighborhood for "starter" homes is it?
That's like me saying there's nothing available under $2.4M in the town where I lived in NJ: Zillow
It's a city, not a neighborhood.
You could buy homes for $250k here not too long ago. They could build townhomes that cost $400k, but they keep building $750k+ versions.
It's the same all over the place. Places can't staff in huge part because nobody wants to drive an hour to get to work. An hour isn't that far, in miles.

But if you remove that zipcode boundary and look in the surrounding area not too far from it, there are still true starter homes that are reasonable. There's quite a few around the low $340's there. Some places just have more desirability than others. And like I said and you've admitted that's not starter home environment.

I suspect they're outside of the core of East Cobb if they're both quite nice and under 600k. Probably non-Walton. I'm not an East Cobb guy though, although I am there quite a bit.
So here is the thing, east cobb is where my parents eventually wound up. So not a starter home area, anyone thinking that needs to have their head examined.
In fact their starter home was in bum frick louisiana.
Oh and not saying you are saying east cobb should have a bunch of starter homes, just that its a very wealthy area, east cobb snobs.
Oh and those people commute to Atlanta, so i dont know whats up with people thinking a starter home also has to be rt next to work when people werent doing that with non starter homes all through the 90s and 2000s in the ATL suburbs.

This... Street cred only comes with living in the city center with higher crime, worse schools and your unique 1150sq/ft 70yr old home.

Gas is a whole hell of a lot more expensive now than it was in the 90s and 2000s. That's part of it.

I remember when the break point was around $75,000. Damn

Who wants to drive an hour each way, especially for a lower-wage job?

This thread made me curious so I just looked on realtor.com for places for sale in my ZIP code. Cheapest one is $500k and it looks to need a lot of work. And I do not consider my ZIP to be some fancy area at all.

God this thread has it all. Never change OT.

give me the address and I will tell you what is wrong with it. I live in central houston. the land alone is $160/sq foot without a house on it. To approach anything in the range of 500k, you are either 1) Flooding every other year, 2) live in a terrible part of town/school or 3) have to drive 45 mins each way to get to work or 4) live behind a strip club or Chinese Restaurant

$450k, 4 bed 4 bath
Thats in Cypress. Its about an hour drive north of Houston. So, you just proved that if you WISH to drive an hour into town, you have the privilege of buying a house for about a half a million.
Find something inside the 610 loop for a 12 mile radius from the city. 12 miles can take 30 minutes or longer during rush hour

450k is not a starter home
