The Assateague Island National Seashore is about 30 miles southeast. This property is in a revitalizing neighborhood, on a street with vintage homes, within walking distance of downtown. Salisbury University is about two miles southwest, and the TidalHealth Peninsula Regional hospital is about a mile south. The house has a three-year-old roof and a new HVAC system.

Minneapolis | $185,000
A two-bedroom, two-bathroom condo in a 1966 building
This second-floor unit is in a four-story, pet-friendly elevator building that sits slightly west of Lake Bde Maka Ska, less than 10 minutes by bike from Lake of the Isles Park and the Uptown neighborhood. The area is walkable, with plenty of shops and services.
Size: 1,083 square feet
Price per square foot: $171
Indoors: The unit entrance opens to a room with hardwood floors and gray-green walls. An open corner kitchen includes wood cabinets, granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances. A chandelier is positioned for a dedicated dining area, and a wide window on the other side of the room establishes a lounging area.
The larger of the two bedrooms measures 17 by 12 feet and includes carpeting, a walk-in closet and an en suite half bathroom. The second bedroom is 14 by 11 feet and has the use of a hall bathroom with a combined tub and shower. There is also a closet with a washer and dryer hookup.
Outdoor space: The unit’s price reflects its lack of a balcony, but residents have access to a rooftop patio with city and partial lake views. A deeded parking space is in a lot in front of the building.
Taxes: $2,584, plus a $550 monthly homeowner fee covering water, sewer, gas, internet, cable, security, maintenance, lawn care, snow removal — pretty much everything except electricity; there is also a $176 monthly assessment that will extend to the end of 2027.
