Because location has such a big influence on the price of a home, what comes with the price tag is totally different for each home. The homes range in size from a 929-square-foot condo to a 3,588-square-foot new build, and each one has its own unique selling point. One has a pool, another has a custom wet bar, and one even comes with a country club membership. Would you choose the 120-year-old charming Massachusetts condo or the new build with a modern aesthetic in Kansas? Take a look at what $900,000 can buy in three different cities across the country.
