How times change

When I first lived in Williamstown in 1996, you could still buy a house for under $200,000. Granted it would have been in need of some TLC and maybe a full scale renovation, but it could be done.

Back then, there were precious little modern places built, now Williamstown has become funked up, real estate wise.

The Osborne Street house in this link is a case in point. Once, this sort of thing wouldn't have been seen outside Prahran, now Williamstown seems to have more and more places over the million dollar mark that bear no resemblance to the old worker's cottages that once dominated in this constantly gentrifying suburban village.
