$95K School in Ohio Is the Week’s Most Popular Home

For a buyer in search of extra credit, this week’s most popular home on Realtor.com® may be the perfect project.

It’s not really a home—it’s a former elementary school in Ohio that’s landed on the market with a five-figure price tag. Built in 1898, Prospect Elementary School offers 17,000 square feet of space. With a list price of $95,000, the math works out to a stunning $6 per square foot.

The historic schoolhouse is waiting for a savvy buyer to transform it into a one-of-a-kind residence. The classrooms, offices, and gym are still intact, so you’ll need to apply some creative thinking to turn the school into an A-plus home.

Away from the classroom, you also clicked on a castle-like home with wild decor in Detroit, a modern Cape in Virginia, and the $40 million California mansion featured in the movie “Scarface.”

We won’t make you stay after class, but we strongly urge you to scroll on down and check out all 10 of the week’s most popular homes.
