If you had to move and had $1 million to burn, where would you go? In some parts of the country, $1 million can buy you a mansion. In other areas, you'll be looking at condos and surprisingly small apartments.
We considered where someone would be more likely to move to if they had to move to another state. That would be one of the state's biggest cities, which would have the most opportunities. We selected cities with a population of at least 200,000 and then checked out local inventory and chose a home that we believe best represented the area.
These $1 million homes in every major city of every state paint an interesting picture of wealth across the country. Where would you want to live?
