Re: Mid-Century Modern
I like the interior of MCM houses much more than the outside. Especially can't stand the slopes.
But inside it feels really fresh and wide. Definitely good.

There are entire communities with homes of this design in Arizona.
Bring 150-250k and you'll be a proud owner of a large mcm estate in az.

That is extremely cheap.
I've seen a couple around my dad's area but sadly people can and will butcher the home when they remodel.
They start doing shit that is not era-specific to the homes.

Also most any homes by Frank Lloyd Wright
I studied Frank Lloyd Wright and he was a genius. Ahead of his time.
One thing that I love about these homes is 50's and 60's interpretation of what the future is suppose to be. Sort of like 'The Jetsons' cartoon.

Re: Mid-Century Modern
Great photos.
I'm a lifelong New Englander, so these exterior designs might as well be f*cking spaceships to me. I'm an assessor in a town with about 13,000 single family residential homes and I could count on both hands and feet the number of Contemporary style (our descriptor) homes I have in sum. Stylistically, they just don't fit in our neighborhoods at all and when they go on sale the owners tend to have a hard time offloading them close to their initial asking price.
The interiors, however, are another story. The high ceilings and open floor plans like what you're seeing in these photos are almost the baseline for owners and families under the age of 55-60, unless your preference is to keep it really old-school New England (rare). I've done plenty of inspections at Colonials and Capes where new owners remodeled the interiors with these Contemporary influences in mind and they came out fantastic.

Re: Mid-Century Modern
I'm a New Englander too, and I've always had a fondness for this design style. In my town there's a sequence of streets that all have California names. Hollywood, Sunnybank, Burbank, and Ferndale. And all of the streets have a couple of houses, usually at the bottom, have houses that are sort of a New England take on the Mid Century Modern, or California design, as we often call it here. They're more like Peaked New England Ranches, or split levels, with floor to ceiling windows of unique shape. I looked at a few when I was looking at houses a few years ago. I always loved them. A lot of people around here think they're really ugly.
I was close to going in the architecture direction in school. I wound up more in technical design.

Been to the famous Frank Lloyd Wright homes around Pittsburgh (Falling Water and Kentuck Knob). Falling water is amazing and the details are really incredible in person. The windows are build directly into the stone so that the lanscape basically comes right through the window into the home.
I'd love to see Taliesen West someday too.
