You’re not comparing like for like. You might as well say, if you want a 2000sqft detached house within a 30 minute commute in the Bay Area you could do so for under 2 million there and it cost hundreds of millions in Manhattan.
- reaperman 4y agoLike-for-like: "within a 30 minute commute" would include areas outside of Manhattan. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/187-Cambridge-Ave-Jersey-City-NJ-07307/38895655_zpid/ https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/187-Cambridge-Ave-Jersey-... is $774,000, 2,000 sq. ft., has something resembling a yard, and is a 22-minute drive to central Manhattan.
