Five decades ago, it was a heady time in America. The year was 1969, and the country put a man on the moon.
In addition to that stellar news, homes were being built across the country as Americans looked to spread out into the suburbs.
We took a peek at homes celebrating their golden anniversary and found over 8,000 homes built in 1969 that are currently for sale. Of course, some of them were completely redone over the decades while others fell into disrepair.
We narrowed our focus to 10 vintage homes truly worthy of the golden anniversary. All are up for sale, and all represent the beauty and diversity of that pivotal year in U.S. history.
That so many properties built in 1969 are still around is proof those mid-20th-century risk takers really were ahead of their time. Their daring designs are still the stuff of dream homes. Take a look…
