A lot of house for the money! Nice riverside location too.

Lordy lordy lordy. It really looks like something you'd see in Chechnya or somewhere like that.

Bats is doing a great job finding the fugly in small town Ontario.

That one in Brighton has this place by the main road in front of it.

https://goo.gl/maps/LihcJdWTVxj at least it is a landmark to describe the retrofitted building you live in converted into apartments.

I quite like that Romanian? street, looks a little Dudley, fairytale.

It's a mission you know, fugly finding.

Fairytale is the word! It's definitely the showpiece of the town.

Upon looking around at a few spots in the town it seems like a nice place, some parts not as affluent, but even those areas without pavement have some charm. It isn't choked with cars and trucks, or derelict vehicles, which is refreshing.

Houses on either side of the Gatineau River, or on the Ottawa River, are almost always the most expensive in town. You could have just told me the price and I could have stuck a pin into a map for the three probable locations.

Housing just isn't that expensive here. My 4-bed detached in a nice area is probably worth $270k tops. If we moved it five miles down the road to the Ottawa side, the price would be way higher.

That's very affordable, especially if it's a nice area.

I'd say you're doing a great job on your Google mapping too! How did you find that street in Romania!

Dudley

New thread, per chance?

It was in the news years ago due to its nouveau riche gaudiness. I just googled Romania gypsy town and the town name popped up.

Surprised at how affordable houses and condos are in Palm Springs.

Seems to be something for almost all income levels.

Granted in summer you can expect super high electric bills so might not be worth it in the end.

It's in a very nice area (not far from that big house). Lots of space, trees and non-identical houses.

My house is probably cheap because it's "old" (ie mid-80s). People like "new" and there is plenty of that around here. You can get real bargains if you are prepared to do a bit of work and just look at the bones.

It was the same when we bought our son's house with him. Biggish bungalow in the country on half an acre. Absolute bombsite but nothing that a bit of work wouldn't fix. I still find it hard to believe that we got it for only 120k.

California. It's worth it!

Amazing. Why are prices low so close to Ottawa? Economy must be ok.
