Midcentury homes at prices below many nearby suburbs

Streets throughout the neighborhood feature midcentury bungalows, Cape Cods and ranch-style homes, many with hardwood floors and full basements. Many homes have updated kitchens and modern mechanical systems. The median sale price hovers around $85,000, with overall prices ranging from about $50,000 to the upper $100,000s depending on condition.

Most people in my area has a good paying job, but has not had a raise in some years, as we all know everything is or has gone up in price except the pay checks. The jobs in my area is good for having a second income to help out in the household. Most people love their first job and often state that if they can get at least to raises on their first job they would let go of there second job. So in my area the overall job outlook in my area I rate it the best for having a second job.
