5 Marvelous Midcentury Modern Homes—All Priced Below $600K

Anyone can convert a home to the ever-popular modern farmhouse style. But a chic house with a midcentury modern vibe is more than a decor switch-up. Maybe that’s why the architecture is so enduring.

While midcentury modern homes might have certain features in common, like the original open floor plans, clean lines, and floor-to-ceiling windows and sliders, each dwelling is different. They were built in the post-World War II era to blend in with their unique environments, and no two lots are exactly alike.

This kind of dashing design doesn’t have to come with a huge price tag. We’ve been able to come up with five examples, all priced below $600,000. One is even in the $300,000 range.

And you don’t need to move to the midcentury modern mecca of Palm Springs to live in one. They were popular all across America, so you can even find them in unexpected places like Oklahoma and Ohio.
