As a contrast to these high cost of living areas, I'm about to make some of you cry. A friend of mine has this house for sale in Marshall, Texas (very Normal Rockwell in NE Texas near Louisiana). He was just transferred to Terrell. Completely remodeled and updated.

Asking price, $169K Click the photo for more pictures.

We are looking to leave California soon. Only reason we have stayed is because of Hubby’s dad.
My problem with everywhere we have looked...Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, is their architecture. Have a really hard time seeing myself living in most of it. Just doesn’t fit me. lol I know, I know but jeez.

I would take a trip down to see the place but Texas is to hot for me.

Even in Texas, it’s location, location, location and throw in a good dose of liberal imports moving in from those high priced areas. There are crappy little houses here on small lots that new owners would bulldoze that are going for 4 times that.

You did make me cry, you big, fat meanie! The house is absolutely gorgeous! If your friend did the remodeling, he or she did an amazing job! It is one of those homes that appear in my dreams.

[who knows what evil?]

Geez...$169,000 wouldn’t even get you a campsite in Hanover, Red Hampshire...

Beautiful!

Antique crap that should have ton down a long time ago!

Stately digs. Ample comparable old homes, many historic, in Waxahachie too. But not at that price. Then again, it is Marshall so...

[Dysart]

Err, ifn you live in Marshall dont be offended, I simply meant Marshall is somewhat off the beaten path. Nothing wrong with rural living, a great many advantages in fact.
