I am a little confused by the OP's post. In my experience, you can buy an older resale house for a lot less money than a newer resale. Are you sure you are comparing houses that are similar in size and amenities? To me, the historic district offers a better location on terms of shopping and restaurants than the Brownwood area. If you don't mind living in an older house, I think the historic district is fine, but I agree that the price should be lower than a newer house.
