In the frenzy of the hot housing market, more buyers are being drawn to older homes for their historic charm. But where are older homes best available exactly?

LendingTree researchers analyzed Census Bureau data to find where the share of older homes—which are defined as housing units built in or before 1939—are most prevalent in the nation’s 50 largest metro areas. They found that older homes tend to be more common in certain areas, and their values can vary significantly relative to the value of all homes in the area.
