Here where I live, one of the original "subdivisions" that was developed in the 1920's to 1930's (and was everything from 1000 sq. ft. cottages to 6000 sq. ft. near-mansions) became VERY sought-after. In the 1990's, people were buying them for almost nothing, gutting them, and either selling them for profit or living in them. Now, the area is highly-valued.

This subdivision is from the 50's and 60's and at the beginning of the same trend.

If I'm thinking of the same McMansions you are... I kind of doubt they'll hold up that long. When you get much beyond 1970's construction, the build quality takes a HUGE nosedive- particle board and other engineered products start becoming more prevalent and they just don't hold up as well.
