The cousin bought a house in the North Caldwell/Cedar Grove area of NJ and the school district is West Essex which are allegedly very good schools.
West Essex school district is only grades 7-12 ---the surrounding towns of Fairfield, North Caldwell, Roseland, and Essex Fells are the sending elementary districts so he must have bought in one of those 4 towns. I am going to guess that the house was built in the 1960's and needs a lot of updating for that price in that area compared with probably a nicer, newer home of the same size in the Austin area?? Just my guess though, I don't know.

I don't think most of the new homes being built in Louisiana and Texas are necessarily nicer. A lot of them lack character and the builders took shortcuts. Not to mention these new homes are stacked on top of each other. You can update a home but you can't put it on a better yard.
That's just a matter of opinion, of course.
