XML : accessing xml node value

I have xml file like

  <House>     <Name>some name</Name>     <Price>22223</Price>  </House>    

I'm loading file using XElement and I'm selecting it's elements

  XElement elem = XElement.Load(fileName);  var houseElements = from h in elem.Elements() select h;    

question is: how to access values inside each element inside this file I tried with

  model.Name = houseElements.Where(x => x.Name == "Name").Select(x => x.Value).ToString();  model.Price= Convert.ToInt16(houseElements.Where(x => x.Name == "Price").Select(x => x.Value));    

but this doesn't work
