Definitely.  I grew up in Westboro, MA... and it was the "up and coming"
suburb of Boston...  I worked for a Real Estate place (basically data
entry) in high school and the houses started at $300K.  You could get
a tar paper shack for $80K (slight exaggeration, but not by much).

I'm in Rochester, NY now, and a co-worker just built a house for $150K
that puts those $300K homes to shame.
