Allen and Lewis are friends who each recently purchased real estate. Allen purchased a patio home in a small town an hour from the city, while Lewis purchased a condo in a really hot area near the city center.

Explanation:

E.g. a beach front condo in South Beach is worth more than a physically similar condo in Jacksonville.
