Air date: Apr 08, 2007

Compare what kind of house you can get for $500,000 in six markets across the country. First up is Louisville, Ky., where a former Civil War hospital gets made over into four stylish condos. Next is a visit to a spacious bachelor loft in Uptown Minneapolis that boasts easy access to the great outdoors. Then it's on to Austin, Texas, to see a courtyard-centered house reminiscent of traditional homes in the homeowners' native India. Last up is a quick tour of a Delaware saltbox Colonial with some hidden surprises, a Jackson, Miss., house with a distinctly European feel, and a flashy loft in downtown Des Moines, Iowa.
