The North King's Park neighborhood "commands some of the highest prices for residential property" in the main city of what was once British Honduras, the State Department assures prospective buyers.

A pair of four-bedroom townhouses in Warsaw's trendy Mokotow district are available for $400,000 each, as are nearly twin homes in Lima, Peru, for $215,000 a pop.

In Nicaragua and Mali, former embassy compounds are also for sale, asking prices $2 million and $2.1 million respectively, with the Bamako property including two parcels with a cultural center and snack bar.

In Indonesia, $550,000 will get you a 107-year-old single-family home dating back to the Dutch colonial era near a commercial corridor filled with new restaurants, cafes and offices.

If commercial space is what you need in the Thai capital, the State Department has a 78.5-acre vacant lot south of Bangkok near the new international airport amid several major roadways now under construction. Yours for only $2 million.
