Affordable homes, Franklin Square
Starting with its sturdy front, there is much to like about this Atlantic Street ranch in Franklin Square.

It has a fireplace, finished basement, bath and wood floors that need polishing. It is listed at $299,000, although the previous owners paid $425,000 about three years ago. Listing agent is Louis Nunziata, broker-owner of Manor Gate Real Estate in Bellmore.

Affordable homes, Levittown
Sixty and savvy is this three-bedroom, one-bathroom cape at 22 Oak Tree Lane in Levittown. Built in 1948 as part of the suburban development by Levitt and Sons, it has been expanded and updated to hold its own in the 21st century. The price of $299,000 is a short sale, meaning it is being offered for less than the mortgage on it. The price back in 1948 was $8,000. There has been a lot of interest in it, according to listing agent Steve Leighton, an associate broker at Keller Williams Realty in Carle Place.

Affordable homes, Riverhead
Sellers Brian and Jessica Frank have put contemporary touches in this two-bedroom ranch at 239C Hubbard Ave. in Riverhead. The couple is selling the house on their own because it has become too small for their family of five. "It's not the hugest house in the world," Jessica Frank says of the 950 square feet, "but there's nothing you have to do. You can walk in and put your furniture down here." The asking price is $299,000. Contact the Franks at house4sale04@gmail.com.
