Listen, we know. Trying to juggle work and school while stuck at home is officially for the birds.

But we have something that just might help. What about moving to a bigger place? One with space enough for a home office, some distance-learning for the kids, and a little home-grown fun thrown in for good measure?

The good news: You don’t need to spend a fortune to spread out.

Take a look at this list of 10 homes—all with extra room for a real-deal workspace—on the market below the current median home price of $350,000.

We’re talking separate offices with their own entrances, built-in desks and shelves, and plenty of multifunctional room for everyone in the family to carve out their own space for their next video meetings. They’re not all oversized, but they all do make smart use of their footprints.

Looking to achieve a bit more sanity on the home front? Let’s take a tour of some affordable options…

1. 6153 Red Maple Rd, Atlanta, GA

Price: $344,900

Why it works: The double red front doors even hint at the school-at-home experience.

This suburban sanctuary has it all. It’s roomy, with five bedrooms, four bathrooms and 3,422 square feet. With all those rooms, you should have no trouble carving out a flex office space, and with a third of an acre of land, there’s plenty of room for PE class outside.

When the weather’s gloomy, head to the neighborhood clubhouse for tennis, swimming, and the kids’ play area. Don’t forget the masks!

2. 370 Granite Mill Blvd, Chapel Hill, NC

Price: $309,970

Why it works: Modern Southern charm oozes out of this house, built in 2017, with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and 1,619 square feet.

There are plenty of areas to convert into smart spaces for school and work-from-home duties, like the bar in the kitchen, and the big, wide-open dining room.

But it’s outside where this property really shines. It sits right across from a soccer field leading into the woods, so recess can start right out the front door. A buyer must have been enticed: The property has already gone into “contingent” status.
