On the price-reduction front, here's a 1992 two-bed, two-bath home buried in the verdure of Grant Park that's $10,500 cheaper than it used to be. The location, between Memorial Drive and Interstate 20, is favorable for folks who appreciate the ability to stroll to Grant Park's burgeoning strip of bars and restaurants (the home scores a 71/100 on walkability-meter Walk Score). Various facets of its 1,224 square feet could use some freshening up, but that's to be expected with a sub-$180,000 ask — which is far below half the latest selling price in 2006. Our favorite part is the carport. Because carports are so versatile, so underrated. · 388 Oakland Ave SE [Zillow]
