Hmmmm. If I lived right smack on Broad Street, I wouldn't have to worry about being either North of Broad or South of Broad.

If the goal was to maximize the use of the cash to save for cost of living, then I'd also look at less expensive homes/fixer-uppers in Wagener Terrace and Hampton Park Terrace.
If the goal was to generate yearly income, I'd buy the commercial listing at 27 Broad street next to Oak that has shops downstairs, and apartments above it, live in one of the apts, and lease out the rest of the bldg.

I'll hand it to DJ for having given the matter very careful consideration. But having already worked myself to a frazzle in spite of my natural inclination to do otherwise, I'm ready for a much calmer existence.
I guess everyone has noticed that Harleston looks like Charleston with a missing C.
