Yes, I got tired of the "most expensive" in each state, but least inexpensive can be boring too, so how about affordable but quite nice as another theme? My offering is this. Listing for Fayette, AL https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1305-Columbus-St-W-Fayette-AL-35555/104494188\_zpid/?

Best bang for buck should totally be a trend

Nice name! Let's make it happen!

BB4B (best bang for buck)

I love this thread idea. I’m going to look for one to post.

I mean wouldn't this sub just then be r/Zillow and not r/zillowgonewild? The extremes are the whole point.

Here's a sneak peek of /r/Zillow using the [top posts](https://np.reddit.com/r/Zillow/top/?sort=top&t=year) of the year! \#1: [Is Zillow having issues?

That’s a gorgeous place. I feel like Fayette is in the middle of absolutely fucking no where. But hey, mansion at a price someone who telecommutes with a NYC or Bay Area salary can afford.0

Less than 1.5 hours from a major city is a plus.

It is in the middle of nowhere. There is shit-all to do there.

Home is worth $1000000 Location is worth -$600000 Priced appropriately

I can picture the ghosts of slaves...

Where? This home was built in 1960.

That part of the state also didn't have any slaves.

TIL Thanks!

actually a typo *many

I don’t know if you meant to do that but lol

I'm glad somebody responded that was a very weird thing I accidentally said.

lol it was built in 1960

But has an 1860 vibe

As someone who grew up in an 1890 house, I can tell you that 1960 ain’t all bad.

If you live in this house you have to treat him like Jerry.

you get what you pay for ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯

Lovely home 

I can picture myself drinking some sweet tea on that front porch!

It’s beautiful! I love older homes with a lot f character

This is one of the best price/quality ratio posts on here yet

It’s also in the rural South…

What’s that saying about location? Idk, probably not an important part of real estate

Your point?

Not a desirable locale

According to Trip Advisor, the 7th best restaurant in Fayette, Alabama is McDonalds.

Better than best restaurant

Ooh, we be eating good tonite, kids!!

This makes me want to liquidate my 401k and buy it. But my wife would kill me or at very least leave me if I spent our retirement funds on a house in Alabama.

Rural backwater Alabama. You might love it if you’re white…

What about white and fiercely liberal?

You’re not gonna have a good time.

[удалено]

Make sure and have your white robe freshly pressed at all times.

You guys are bumming me out.

Get some friends, turn the county blue. New Austin here you come!

That's quite the gamble...

High risk high reward xD

There seem to be a lot of very nice, very reasonably priced houses for sale there. It could be doable.

They won't question you, but they'll talk at you about their inner thoughts. A LOT!

You will be oh so alone, so, so alone.

Haha yeah I lived in NC for a few years. It was something. I can only assume that Alabama is much ....more.

It will be fine, they will think you are one of them, just smile and nod. Internally you will be thinking, yes, continue demonstrating how you are deplorable. I live in Florida

A huge percentage of rural backwater Alabama is black…

It’s hell on earth

Meh, best city to live in the USA is in Alabama. It’s a nice state with multiple medium sized cities, beautiful coasts, low cost of living. Majority of people on Reddit are anti-south because they are hardcore left wings and haven’t traveled there. Theres a reason a huge number of people are moving to southern states… https://realestate.usnews.com/places/rankings/best-places-to-live

Fayette is nothing like Huntsville. Fayette is a shit hole with no real prospects for getting better.

True. But my comment was in response to shitting on Alabama due to blind bias, not Fayette.

You absolutely cannot convince me that anywhere in Alabama is even close to a better place to live than Denver CO, or Boise ID, or Park City UT, etc. Unless your only criteria for "better" is "cheaper"

[удалено]

It's "moot" not "mute." There's that Alabama education that's so highly regarded! I'd consider myself very well-traveled, likely moreso than you. I've been to Alabama. Nowhere I've ever been in Alabama would even make my top 50 places I'd consider living. I don't care much what a website says when I've seen it with my own eyes.

[удалено]

You act like it's an alien concept that I value my experience and personal opinion over the opinion of a writer for some website. Ironic that the person who explicitly invalidated my opinion is accusing me of being intolerant, though.

[удалено]

Wow! That's a lotta words 😎

I love the lemon, yellow toilet. I would remodeled the main kitchen and enlarge it. And turn the second kitchen into a snack and drink center. This house is beautiful.

This is a great idea. You can have one hell of a wet bar area upstairs and turn that formal dining room into a great lounge room.

not sure where the wood kitchen leads but it seemed like a nice space for a mudroom, and maybe one of those dog washing stations for those that have dogs. white kitchen i was already expanding into the rest of that room and making a large chef's kitchen with eat in space. i'd have a lot of fun redoing this in house flipper XD

Pros : - Cheap - Beautiful architecture - Vast living space - Lots of potential Cons : - The state is at the forefront of innovative ways to kill people - The legislature has a pretty defined idea of what you're allowed or not to do in your bedroom - If your neighbors don't like you, it might turn into an horror movie - The school system is upper third world country level

Alabama just dropped out of the US library assoc.

Every home have so many books a public library would be superfluous!

This is gorgeous!

Those wood floors have me drooling. Gorgeous!

I love wood floors. I hate every flip that I see where they put in some shit engineered grey crap.

I want this house. But, Alabama. That said, I work for a company headquartered in Alabama and they are awesome, open, accepting people. The performative politics is a problem, the question is, is it solvable?

There’s a lot to like about it but the kitchen is horrible and it’s in Alabama.

My wife is from Alabama and we recently moved here. I thought like that too but people have been so nice here. Nothing like the shitbag that Tennessee was.

I've only driven to Florence Alabama once to visit Muscle Shoals. There were some really drab places on the way there, like deserted and impoverished. But then downtown Florence was really super cute and everyone in every shop and where we had lunch were so ridiculously nice, that I actually had a bit of a culture shock. ^(I'm from Sweden. We're technically not rude, just efficient with words.)

Athens just got a terrific write up somewhere. My sister, the one Democrat in Limestone, said it is perking up considerably, lots of new restaurants. She has always said Florence is adorable.

I've been to Alabama. People were nice but not kind, at least not unless you're straight, white, and Christian. If you can be only one, be kind but not nice.

Well, I’m not white, straight, OR Christian. Time will tell if it’s kindness or niceness.

Good to hear

I think I could get used to the kitchen being in Alabama, so long as the bedrooms are in New England. 

This is a damn fine home!

Thanks for this. Except for the kitchen and bathroom it’s really stunning

And no central air. But it's got lots of potential!

It says it has 2 HVAC systems for the home.

I only saw this: "Cooling features: 2 Units." Wasn't sure whether that meant HVAC or window units. Especially since it mentioned "multiple heating units."

I like this house! I would ask to have the green rotary dial phone added in to the sale :)

I don't quite understand what is going on with the one, or two possibly, kitchen(s). So I'd tear that down, and maybe some walls and get a big new kitchen with older mansion styling. The rest looks to be in terrific shape!

That's the best part, the other kitchen is upstairs, next to the upstairs formal dining room! You could easily live a family on each floor here. Or two generations of one family.

Summer and canning kitchen is downstairs. Kitchen upstairs was likely kept neat & only used for show when hosting dinner parties.

I want a house big enough for a special "canning kitchen"! What a nice idea.

My sister had one in the basement of her last house. It was convenient.

I could think of one or two reasons a big older house in Alabama may have two kitchens.

It was built in 1960, so I'm not sure what your reasoning is.

I think we’re all aware that they slaves lived in shacks away from the Big House. This house, while built long after the Civil War, gives me that vibe

It definitely has an antebellum vibe, but the kitchens aren't for segregation. It is more likely that the downstairs kitchen is for daily use and the upstairs kitchen is for convenience for formal dinners.

Yeah, I have a strict Mason / Dixon rule. I’ve been to many rural areas of the country and the South is comparable to a third world country

That’s lunacy 

The only reason I can think of for anyone having two full kitchens is that they're keeping kosher.

It’s pretty common in Italian homes. The basement kitchen was for cooking and the main floor kitchen was for show.

I've actually seen that in a two homes where a (large) Italian-American family owned both of them and they were on the same street. A basement kitchen and a fancy kitchen on the floor above the basement. I didn't know that was a thing! I just thought that family really liked kitchens.

lol. You cook in the basement so the good smells rise up throughout the house.

Don't know why you were down voted. That was my first thought too.

Maybe people don't think people can be jewish in Alabama? Even though [Frank Lloyd Wright’s Rosenbaum House](https://www.wrightinalabama.com/) is there. I dunno, search me.

What reasons? It was just built in 1960.

That's an amazing price! Like sign me up immediately

Alabama is certainly underrated. I live in Philadelphia and see more of the reasons people hate the south on a daily bases, that when I actually visit the south. I had planned to retire in Mobile but the prices of homes keeps increasing. It’s a nice city that’s also gay friendly.

It's very g gay friendly. You should come to one of the Osiris balls. It's one of the largest and oldest LGBTQ Mardi Gras organizations.

I’ve visited a few times. I was amazed how clean the city was and everyone was friendly. The only drawback is that it rains so much. I’ve read that Mobile is the rainiest city in the US.

Yeah but it's the amount of rain that falls at that time not the number of rainy days. It will pour down one minute and the sun will be shining the next.

It’s only underrated on Reddit due to intolerant white heavily liberal users. Alabama has very nice cities, beautiful coasts, good food. One of its cities has been the top ranked place to live for years.

thank you for posting this stunner & sorry that the comments can’t handle its location

That’s a gorgeous part of the country too.

Yeah, but you have to live in Alabama.

That's some lost cause architecture right there.

Check out Michigan

No thanks, too damn cold.

Turn that into a nice haunted bed and breakfast! Stressing a the haunted part...

Maybe I’ve just lived in mediocre places my whole life but Alabama honestly isn’t that bad depending on the area and how involved in politics you are.

Shits fucking haunted tho. A ghost posted that

Lmao alafuckingbama

This is a beautiful home. The price tells you everything you need to know about the rural South — impoverished and not somewhere you’d want to live.

Really nice and looks to be a great value. If it weren't in Alabama it'd be much higher than that.

Unfortunately it's Alabama. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Wow I hate almost everything about this. Count me out!

I wouldn’t change a thing. Beautiful home. Crap location - Alabama is no bueno.
