I heard that the South Slope/Greenwood Market is good for houses for sale but I also heard its good for houses for rent. Here is a site that specializes in houses for rent http://www.rentdigs.com/Houses-For-Rent/Rental-Houses.aspx“>www.rentdigs.com. I thought it just in case you didn’t find a home that you wanted to buy.

There have been a number of properties listed at or below 950K in the last year in that vicinity. The cheaper places I visited (< 700K) tended to look like treehouses on the inside, but you could certainly find decent houses within your budget that were at least partially renovated, particularly in Greenwood Heights. There was a recent NYT article hyping the neighborhood that reported a substantial increase in prices over the last few years, but last I checked, 950K would still be well over the average for a 1-2 family house there.
