The sum $600,000 is quite a busy price point in the Boston housing market. Here’s what it buys as spring eases into summer.

↑ Unit 3 at 17 Highland Street in Roxbury comes in at $600,000 even and includes the potential for three bedrooms. There are two full bathrooms as well.

The price includes in-unit laundry, but no parking. The condo fee is $250.

↑ In Dorchester’s Lower Mills, $600,000 buys an entire house in the form of 46 Avondale Street.

The 1,432-square-foot colonial includes one and a half bathrooms and the potential for four bedrooms. There’s a two-car garage, too.
