49. The Detroit/Grosse Pointe border.


For further reference:



"I don't have pics of the houses anymore (I used original reality links that no longer exist), but they were both 2-story brick colonials built around the same time. These two houses are less than 1/2 mile apart yet one costs 10x as much as the other."
