Chase
Solid value in a growing area
Median $215K·Schools 6.0/10
Hungerford Lake Recreation Area sits right at the edge of the property—golden hour is when the whole stretch glows and the trails feel like they're yours alone. A short drive puts you near the ORV routes that draw weekend adventurers from across the region, while the village itself keeps things grounded: Chase Creek Smokehouse, a gas station, and enough corner lots and double-lot parcels that you're not hemmed in. Victorian farmhouses from the 1880s anchor the quieter streets alongside ranch homes and renovation projects—the kind of place where a screened porch and detached garage read as real features, not afterthoughts. County-maintained roads and a two-minute walk to the nearest restaurant mean you're neither isolated nor absorbed into sprawl, and the median lot sizes suggest people came here because they wanted room to breathe, not because they had nowhere else to go.

Estimates use a 6.43% 30-year fixed rate (current Freddie Mac average), an aggressive ~45% housing-to-income ratio (roughly what FHA underwriting can allow for a buyer with no other monthly debts — your number depends on your debts and credit), this area's median sale price, plus estimated insurance and PMI below 20% down. Not an APR or a commitment to lend — your actual rate and payment will vary.
