Budlong has starter homes and remodeled properties in Cranston
Albert Hajdaraj, a Realtor with Homesmart Professionals, notes that the ability to attract different types of buyers is crucial to understanding Cranston neighborhoods like Budlong. “There’s a huge first-time homebuyer market, with $250,000 to $300,000 starter homes.” Some of these properties have their original interiors intact – ideal for those devoted to preserving period details or for those who want creative control over renovations. Look for well-maintained midcentury ranches on leafy lots, placed near homes of a similar scale and complimentary style. You can also opt for larger properties with interiors featuring modern updates, like a 2,000 square foot cottage from 1975. These properties are more likely to have fenced yards and be neatly landscaped.
