[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on what you mean by "nice." I don't consider Toll or Ryan nice. They're just Home Depot grade construction. People buy McMansions for the size, not quality.

500k will get you a pleasant and reasonably updated house in the suburbs of most midwestern/flyover cities.

That kitchen in your first link, with the tile floors, backsplash & black countertops is not what most people would consider “updated.” [/quote]

Nitpicking nitpicking nitpicking isn't going to get you anywhere.

The nicest kitchen you can find in a 500k house in most suburbs / cities anywhere is going to be a basic shaker with granite because that's the affordability. No one is putting a 100+k kitchen remodel in a 500k house. Both these houses are solid, reasonably attractive and if aspects are outdated, a paint job will do the trick. And both are in good suburbs with low crime, good services and good schools. I'd consider both perfectly nice houses.
