We’re eyeing this 1950s Five Points home with historic charm + modern appliances coming in at $998,000. This four-bed, three-bath beauty has vaulted, coffered ceilings and is part of one of our favorite neighborhoods in the beltline.

If renting is more your style, meet The Row, coming soon to Rockway outside of downtown. The corner unit will have two stories, three spacious bedrooms, and an east-facing balcony at about $7,000 a month according to Apartments.com — if you’re not factoring in furnishings, you can rent for over 10 years at this price.

Canes season tickets right along the glass come in at about $13,000 before fees per person, meaning you could afford to bring 70 of your closest friends and fill up one whole side of the ice. If you’re looking for a more long term investment, maybe give sole team owner Tom Dundon a ring to see if he can spare a slice of the team’s ownership.

If you just can’t decide, treat yourself to a steak dinner at Angus Barn or become a regular. If your final bill comes out to $500, you can afford over five years of nightly service at the iconic Raleigh restaurant with your $1 million.
