LIMA — If you have the means, $500,000 can go a long way in terms of housing in the region. Homes sold in this price range will afford buyers an ample amount of square footage — usually more than 3,000 — more bedrooms and bathrooms than the typical residence, and amenities such as a three-car garage, custom woodwork and a finished basement. Along with the home, the lot on which it resides is often much larger.
