That's within $10 of my monthly mortgage, but, it's an old house that needed a shit ton of work when we bought it and there is no AC. Some people wouldn't be into that. I like it though.

I also bought an old house, closed floorplan, dated throughout, has no AC, cheap price.

I like it, it's not for everyone.

I haven't put any money into it yet but all my friends ask what I am going to do with it.

Live in it (cheaply) mainly.

Window units? I lived in socal and people suffered during heat waves. Not much compared to here.

I have 2, but we never even put one of them in this year. It’s so big and heavy we never felt like it. It gets cool enough at night that I sleep with fans fine.

It was too hot for a few days, but it’s pretty tolerable overall. I couldn’t live like that all the time. I couldn’t live in the South, but for a week or two total, it’s fine.

That's a couple hundred higher than mine and I found a pretty nice 2 story with a finished basement in a nicish part of Brookline. We did some refurbs, but it didn't really need it.

You can definitely find good homes in Pittsburgh for that price range. Took us a while but they're out there.
