The Instagram account @cheapoldhouses is taking the internet by storm with 2.9 million followers and features on HGTV, Buzzfeed, and The New York Times. According to Zillow, the demand for inexpensive, older homes is trending as millennials are snatching them up to bring them back to life.
We scraped @cheapoldhouses’ feed so you don’t have to, and unfortunately, there were no listings in or around the Fort Worth area. So we’re taking matters into our own hands. Here’s a list of five homes we’d nominate for a listing on Cheap Old Houses. They’re perfect for a rental, flip, or starter home.
1412 N. Riverside Dr.
Natural light pours into this vintage, single-story home through its abundance of windows. The most unique characteristic of this three-bedroom — which was built in 1931 — is its separate efficiency apartment.
2013 Birdell St.
Is it just us, or does this house look like it belongs in a Wes Anderson film? Built in 1949, this cozy two-bedroom residence is ideal for first-time home buyers or those looking to downsize.
5311 Miller Ave.
With a little vision and hard work, this 1950s fixer-upper could become the oasis of your dreams. The 1,384-sqft home also comes with a separate one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment.
510 N. Bradshaw St., Denton
Built in 1940, this baby blue house in the College View neighborhood contains two bedrooms and one bathroom. The cozy space is 640 sqft.
702 W. Spring St., Weatherford
The oldest of our nominations — this four-bedroom home is for auction and dates back to 1906. The century-old, craftsman-style home features two stories and four bedrooms in Parker County.
