For $400,000, you can get a house in Charlotte that’s more than twice the size of what you’d get in Washington, DC.

When it comes to real estate, the value of your dollar is highly variable across state, and even city, lines. While you may be able to afford a three-bedroom house with a yard and a pool in Texas, for instance, the same-priced abode in California won’t be nearly as impressive.

To find out how markets compare across the country, real-estate listing site Zillow provided Business Insider with data on the average square footage of a home with a $400,000 price tag in the 25 largest metro areas.

While Zillow currently pegs the national median home value at $196,500, the estimated value of homes in the country’s most desirable locations — like New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco — can get as high as the mid-$800,000’s, so we chose to look at a higher-than-median price point of $400,000.

Zillow calculated the size of homes by looking at the median home value per square foot in each metro, which ranges dramatically from $90 in Houston to $1,156 in New York City.

Below, check out how much space you can get for $400,000 in the 25 largest cities in America. We’ve also included median home value figures from Zillow for comparison.

All data is from Zillow and represents metro areas, with the exception of New York, which comes from NYC real-estate site StreetEasy, a sister company of Zillow, and represents only the five boroughs.
