    What kind of house do you get for about $500,000 in your neighbourhood?

    If you excludes condos, what do you get for about $500,0000?

    In my area, Known as "McGill Ghetto", you'll get $500K a 2 storey plus basement row-housing unit such as this:

    These type of houses have 4 bedrooms and sit on 1,500 square feet of land.

      500k usd? You'd get 3 bedroom apartment if you're lucky. Probably 2 bedroom apartment. Houses start at 1mil+
      ..and I'm off.

          US and Cnd dollar are pretty near one another Actually, the bedrooms in these houses are small, the average size of a bedroom is about 100 square feet and non have a private bathroom.

                                  You'd get about 130 square meter apartment with 500k usd/cad in my neighborhood.

                                                  Prices here are all over the place because of "view lots". Put a 2000 square foot home on a lot w/o a view and you can buy it for $170K. Stick it on a small lake/creek - $300K. Give it a mountain view, $500K+. All on about 2/3 of an acre.

                                                  My house is 2300 sq ft but I'm on a small (7 acre) lake and I have almost 2 acres of land. I could get about $300K+ for it.

                                                      BUT, if I sold my lots separately and just sell the house, I could add another $60K or so when I sell ;)

                                                              i live in an area where there are only 3 houses withing 6 km radius...

                                                              noone is allowed to build there anymore...
                                                              when the house was built the city almost stopped everything because it was not "legal" in their eyes

                                                              but we won in court


                                                              so i think it is priceless to live here

                                                                                                                          These type of houses have 4 bedrooms and sit on 1,500 square feet of land.
                                                                                                                          Houses on Mont-Royal arent part of the Mcgill gettho.. ;)

Seems that kinda weeds out the "riff-raff" right there. But apparently they don't like certain kinds of rich folk

The owner of our house only lived here for a year before moving to another state, several of our neighbors have moved since we have been here only a few months and the one across the street just put their house up for sale a few weeks ago. We have the option to buy it, however, I'm not fond of the whole community setting. It's stuffy and prison-like. Even though you own your home, they always have a say in what you can and cannot do.

                                                                                                                                                                          The cost of the house is very expensive, too.
