8 years ago a friend of mine bought a perfectly serviceable house in a nice, safe, convenient neighborhood in Pittsburgh for about 90k.

Generally, here’s what I’ve seen gets you equivalent size/convenience/safety:

1m in NY

500k in DC

300k in Philly

150k in Pittsburgh.

I would absolutely believe you could find something nice for 5 figures in Detroit.
