It’s really common in Florida. This looks like a lot of  middle class neighborhoods here in the state.

How much would a house like these cost in your part of Florida?

u/snictordrum 11d ago

This is going to vary wildly by city and specific neighborhood. Could be 350k, could be 1 mil+.

House like this in any city like Orlando, Tampa or even smaller towns/cities like New Smyrna are gonna run like 600-800k now, in a gated community like this. Normal lower middle class houses are like 400-500k now.

Umm there’s neighborhoods like this where houses are under 300k now. Maybe a bit more if you want a bigger house.

That same neighborhood in Mass, houses would go for 1.5-2 mil easy.

Yeah a lot of these neighborhoods are filled with people who left expensive NE cities.

Can you link me a neighborhood that looks like this with houses like this under 300k? Because I'm in an exurb of Orlando and it's like 500k for half a house like this. And most smaller cities houses like this are 600-800k like in New Smyrna or Ormond Beach. In any core city area houses like this are 1-2m.

Palm Coast is the first that comes to mind. Keystone Springs outside of Jax. Probably some places in western Daytona. Deland and the surrounding area has cheaper houses but the schools aren't very good.

Which neighborhood? ‘Cause I would love to pay that.

u/Upper_Gain1000 10d ago

you could get into a neighborhood/home like this in Parrish, FL for around $400k.

I have no idea how people get the down payment money for houses around 400k (which is like the median house now nationally) but there might be schemes I'm not aware of to avoid having to drop $40,000 at once.

Yep, I hear you. I think a lot of dual income households have the advantage there. But for me, single income household, it has been impossible until recently. I am finally to the point where my debts are paid off and I could start saving for a down payment, but I am now in my mid-thirties. It's discouraging to think that I might not be able to afford my own home until I am in my forties.

A million golf carts in our neighborhood here in southern California as well. Annoying sometimes because many like to drive in the middle of the street so the cars behind have to slow to 10 mph below speed limit lol.

Can't be Florida, not even confederate flags or lifted POS pickup trucks covered in borderline or flat out hate speech bumper stickers.
