Pittsburgh? Who wants to live in Pittsburgh? It's cloudy 24/7.

Someone who’s trying to find a house for $300k.

Seriously. Mt Lebanon is an excellent public school district. Thumbing your nose at a 300k house it b/c it's gray sometimes is nuts.

Friends who moved there absolutely love it, and I was completely charmed by it on a recent visit. It seemed like every street had another little house to fall in love with. I wouldn't write off the job market without a little more research, either. My family is from an eastern Pittsburgh suburb and yes, the winters are pretty gray but you'll be hard-pressed to find an affordable area of the country that doesn't have some sort of catch, weather-wise.

Unlike the other areas posted, you will not need to get a condo, significantly downsize in living space, or live in a mediocre school district if you move to Western Mass.

My child could likely get in TJ and we live in a really good high school district. I know I can't find TJ level schools but I'd like it to be a college prep type of high school.

I have a friend in Springfield. It is nice but not much jobs wise.

And do the Downtown Consortium? The houses are pretty old there but it's a possibility

There are also some homes in Frederick I can afford

Try Fort Mill, SC. It’s the Charlotte suburbs but the schools in SC are not countywide like in NC. Good schools and the state gives really generous scholarships for instate students to SC colleges.

It's only 4 years away, just rent for now and buy when the school district doesn't matter anymore.

I need cash. I can’t afford rent and utilities and food and activities. I’d like to sell the house and buy somewhere with no mortgage

If you aim to put down $300K but have a mortgage of approx $200K can you swing that? It would bump up your budget

It would also defeat the purpose of this thread.

Are you sure about Dunwoody, Georgia ? Wouldn't $300,000 just buy a small condo ?
