Can an 18 year old in high school legally...?

own their own place of residence? 18 is the legal age, but if they are still in high school, would it be illegal?

Doesn't matter if they are in high school or not. At 18 your an adult and can own property. Although, it's pretty much impossible to being able to buy one that young (due to lack of credit and lack of down payment) unless you're rich.

if they can afford it, what's the problem?

18 is considered an adult. Your education status has no bearing on your age.

Same as if you were 20 and in college...

the second you turn eighteen, you're a legal adult and you're able to move out whenever you have the money. maybe you're thinking that when you're still a minor, you can get emancipated. but whether or not you're still in high school, you're a legal adult and can move out.

An 18 year old is old enough to be held legally responsible for any contracts he enters into , so yes, it would be legal.

If they can afford it yes. The problem may arise in finding a bank or finance company that will carry the mortgage.

There are not many 18 year olds that have been out in the work place long enough to establish adequate credit for the purchase of real estate property.

On the other hand if the 18 year old is fortunate enough to be in a financial position that would make the lender feel comfortable about the transaction there should be nothing in the way of their purchase.

I am sure it would be perfectly legal, you can enter into contracts at 18, school status has no bearing on that. But I am not an attorney.
