some great neighborhoods up there. Mature trees and such too. I too would be looking closely at the age of the roof, age of the AC, how dated the interior was. if entire flooring or carpet needed to be replaced. Kitchens. That's what drove us to purchase just above 466A - no issues with a 5 year old house. Only needed some gutters and interior painting. everything else was pretty new, not dated and mostly pristine. renovations can be costly.
We seriously considered one older house. When i inquired with Lowes about ripping up all the old carpet and adding even a basic laminate floor, plus the cost of renovating each of the bathrooms and kitchen, it was approaching $60K.
