$500k Host Mike Siegel compares six houses across the country in the $500,000 price range. We start in Omaha, Neb., with a couple that gave their traditional home a sleek modern makeover on the inside. Next we visit a North Carolina home where the real show stopper is the garage. Then it's on to Spokane, Wash., and an eco-friendly home designed to take full advantage of its natural surroundings. We then take a quick tour of homes in Flagstaff, Arizona, Rochester, N.Y., and Louisville, Ky.
