See what $500,000 will buy you across the country with six different homes, starting with a colonial in Connecticut that Victor and Allison Lopez revamped. Then, in Folsom, California, striking renovations have kept the Covello family's home fresh, even after eighteen years, while a Denver couple have refit a traditional Victorian with a cutting edge interior. Finally, a quick tour of homes in Portland, Detroit, and New York City provides another look at what you get for $500,000.
