A three-bedroom, two-bathroom “Brad Pitt house” has hit the market for $150,000. This lower 9th Ward home built by the star’s Make It Right foundation has eco-friendly bells and whistles, including solar panels, as well as hardwood floors and a deck. However, you might want to get a thorough home inspection, because lawsuits levied against the nonprofit allege “moisture and water intrusion problems” due to defective, rot-prone building materials.

Renovated historic Holy Cross homes are beautiful, but they can be pricey. At $145,000, this new construction has the look of a much older house, thanks to its deep front porch, floor-to-ceiling windows, and wooden floors. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom cottage also has an open living area and a cool side porch—both look like great places to hang out.
