Future homeowners can also find three-bedroom bungalows with wide porches and small yards. Because homes with garages aren’t common, most residents park on uncovered driveways or in the street. Home prices can range from $100,000 to $300,000. Homes spend about a week on the market before new residents purchase them. Most residents are renters, but there are opportunities for investors and future homeowners.
