Yea I would rather have a house too, and I have been looking at houses in the same price range and unless you go way out of town you will get a shack for under 200k... Compared to a newer or brand new town home from 140-200k that are usually in nice areas. It all depends on what you want to sacrifice- small lot and house with 1 garage in crappy neighborhood for 170k or a really nice townhome in a nice location with more than 1 garage attached.

One thing that I have been looking at also, which I would be sold on if they had separate garag-ing would be a loft downtown. I think that would be sweet to live right downtown in a redone old building with huge ceilings and get up everyday to see the busy life outside.
