The first phrase that comes to mind about Boston real estate is "not affordable." More to the point, affordable in Boston can mean anything from $200K to upward of $1.8M.

This week's open house tour takes you to Roslindale and West Roxbury. While these neighborhoods may have their differences, what they both have in common is a refreshing affordability.

For well under $400,000, you can find yourself at least two bedrooms, modern amenities, and more space than you'll know what to do with.
