There are numerous houses in northern Ohio in that price range. They tend
to be small and of wood-frame construction built in the 1940s and 50s and
are therefore outdated by today's standards; but taxes, urban ammenities and
travel times to services are usually good. Some are in small towns or rural
areas. There, the houses may also be on a relatively large piece of land.

Look into urban homesteading too. Some cities discount properties (and,
sometimes, property taxes too) to owners who put in "sweat equity" to
repair/improve deteriorated properties. In such situations, don't expect
good schools or classy neighborhoods; but look carefully and you'll find
neighborhoods on the way up with enthusiastic residents, thriving community
institutions and an improving quality of life.
