Weekly Reads... NYT What You Get For

This week's "Property Value - What You Get" didn't excite me all that much, although living in Memphis looks pretty sweet!


So I decided to go back to a favorite house of mine for $300,000 on the Hudson River, and about 2.5 hours from NYC and Boston. I love this house - it looks like the perfect getaway!

Plus, there's a backyard right on the river... what could be better than living on the water?

Weekly Reads... NYT What You Get For

One of my favorite columns in the NYT each week is the "What You Get For... $" in the Real Estate section.

Every week, they look at 3 homes for sale across the U.S. that fit within a certain price range... from the high end, to the low end. The picture above is a Chicago loft on the market for $400,000.


Since I've lived in some of the more expensive spots in the country, I start dreaming when I see what you get outside of the big cities. A few weeks ago, I tried to talk my boyfriend into moving to Portland, Maine so I could live in the $250,000 house above. A girl can dream, can't she!
