Lake George strives to attract visitors year-round to enjoy its breathtaking scenery and all-season destinations. This three-bedroom, two-bath log house at 11 Village Estates Lane is now on the market for $789,000. The 1,688-square-foot property is part of Lake George's high-end Village Estates Community.

This four-bedroom, three-bath property at 83 Whitten Hill Rd., in Kennebunkport, Maine, is on the market for $598,000. The house was built in 1990 and has some rustic features, like a great room with a stone fireplace and antique barn beams.

According to last month's RealtyHop Housing Affordability Index, Little Rock, Arkansas is the third-most affordable housing metro area in the United States, with residents allotting only about 15.5 percent of their income towards mortgage and property taxes. The median listing price there is $199,000—slightly below the national average of $225,300, but it's rising—so it's a good time to check out what the city has to offer.

Consider the four-bedroom, three-bath mountain house at 105 Crosshill Rd., in Lake Harmony, Pennsylvania, now on the market for $529,900. The 3,672-square-foot house, which was built in 2010, has an open concept living/dining room with double-height ceilings, a full wall of windows, and a stately stone fireplace.

Irvington is expensive—the median listing price, according to Zillow, is a hefty $1,150,000. But you can find deals in the slightly lower-priced East Irvington, which is still just a five-minute drive from the village's center. Consider, for instance, this three-bedroom, three-bath ranch house at 25 Mallard Rise, now on the market for $799,999.

The real estate in Downtown Los Angeles consists primarily of relatively new condo developments, a significant number of which are priced lower than comparable spaces in Manhattan.
