    it really depends on the city. Its actually pretty dramatic from one city to the next.
    Where I currently live in west covina you get a house that needs work and is 1300 sq/ft for like 300k which i think is ridiculous.

    The city where I purchased my house (Montclair) is about 15 miles away and i got a re-modeled 1300 sq/ft house on a big lot for a whole lot less.

    if you drive out about 45 minutes out near the mountains you can get a 3000 sq/ft house on a 1.5 acre lot for about 300k.

    and of course smaller properties go for a lot less. it really depends on the city and the area in that city as well.

    Kinda what I thought, that wigs me out, here 300k buys you a 5000ft house in gated subdivision sitting on a half acre lot. My home, (1550ft) not big by any means, 3br, 2bth was $47,000 (needed some work, nothing major, mostly paint on a quarter acre) in a great school district, acually the very best in the area. But I have no kids, thank God. But it does help property values.

    yeah I live pretty close to los angeles so the cost of living is a bit high. if you go out about an hour you can get some great homes like the ones you mentioned for about 250k-350k.

    but the bad thing about those is that your out in the middle of the desert with nothin around lol.

    So you gotta kinda choose based of personal convenience.

    Yeah I understand about living close, I lived in Atlanta for a few years, I was close, but 30-40 minutes from anything. Here, hometown, I'm less than a mile from the main part of town. Handy.
