For those prices you could get a 4000 sq foot home in North Texas with little to no crime and the best public schools in the US.

You would live in North Texas though. No worries being killed, I would off myself.

I see it every day.
Two years ago I met a guy with five houses in Milan in a two block area. He bought blighted ghetto houses and sold each one for triple his investment.

He's confusing the eighth, seventh and upper ninth with Bywater.

No shite. If I could get $265 a sq ft for my house I’d sell it tomorrow. Unfortunately the size of my house and the location wouldn’t make sense for anyone.

Of the three you posted, that 3900 Thalia is the only surprising one.


Outside of Thalia that area was the DMZ 5 years ago which is why I said New Orleans was gentrifying.

I lived near Louisiana in the 90s and I was more familiar with 40s than $400k houses. Dear lord.

That’s a fairly common story. Some people refused to move no matter how bad it got and bought up their neighbors. The first few blocks of General Taylor were the first renovation projects Uptown by the Preservation Resource Center. I’m sure Milan wasn’t any better.
