      We paid 1500 for a 3 bedroom with ocean view near Orient Heights until we moved in 2016. Cheap, nice stuff on the T is out there as long as you look beyond neighborhoods with artisanal beard trimmeries and Farm-to-table Cat treat Boutiques.

      The housing market is savage. If you find a 3 bedroom under $400k anywhere within a 45 minute commute of downtown Boston in 2018: 1) you have a fixer upper.2) the school system is probably not as good as the surrounding area (which may not matter if you don’t have kids but will impact re-sale.)3)you are going to have 30+ other bidders on the house offering over list. 4) you live in an area that probably has a higher crime rate and less posh conveniences.

      I am 15 minute train ride to downtown, bought in 2014 after putting in over 10 bids and losing to people offering 75k over asking. I paid 390k for a 4 bedroom that is a major fixer upper ( knob and tube, needed new furnace, all new windows, extremely dated kitchen and baths. My house is now worth around 590k and I am not in a super swanky area but the schools are good and crime is low,
