This is what $330k can get you in Texas

Yeah but you have to live in McKinney which is basically a 40 minute ride to Dallas and also is boring, characterless, cow pasture on the way to Oklahoma. Seeing as how I have a large disdain for suburbs, especially post world war 2 suburbs, I'll definitely pass on that. Nice home though.

What's the point of living here if all the jobs are almost 2 hours away?
Of course it will be cheaper. It all comes down to location

2 hours away? Hell of an exaggeration. Plentiful jobs in every part of Dfw. South Lake has the most money and that’s 40 minutes from Dallas

I just bought a house. I could’ve gotten this in McDonough or Ola somewhere between there and Conyers.

All brick, with this yard over 2200 sqft and a brick fence? I’ve bought two house in ATL metro in the past 10 years and that doesn’t sound right in 2023. But I also live in Gwinnett in a really good school district, so maybe that’s why

But this house in McDonough is a new build with comparable acreage, but builder grade finishes, it isn’t all brick (which typically is another $20,000-$30,000), and no brick fence… and it’s already 360k. I guess it’s possible to get close to 400k, but definitely nothing less than that for a house with type of finishes and upgrades in the OP.

30 minutes outside of city at 70 miles per hour. Easy pass.

He’s not lying

McKinney closer to Oklahoma than Dallas

I’d rather not live in Texas. But you can get a spot like that out in the Atlanta suburbs too.

When you see the “starting price” for a model home add another 100-150k to the price for what you are actually seeing.

Add traffic and it's close to 1 and a half hours.

Meh, yea well that’s Any major city down south. Atlanta, Dallas, Houston. Traffic can be a bytch and often times can take an hour or more to get to work.

Good living.

If you're the type of person that spends more time otuside the house than in, then easily you'd prefer living in a big city

 

[King Sun]

House is great but you’re in Texas. No thank you. I’m not raising my kids in a state where every yokel can carry a firearm and the governor is actively trying to dismantle black history.

If I was single different story.

Not only that when TX brehs bring up these houses its usually 40 mins away form the city, a neighborhood full of cacs, property taxes that are so high it outweights the money you would save.

Google and Toyota would like to have a word with you sir.

I work "across the street" from Toyota. Trust when I tell you it's FULL here. There's almost no time you can go anywhere and not be stuck in traffic.
