LIVING IN THE UNITED STATES

HOUSING IN US

With home ownership still ranking as the ultimate American dream, American communities take all shapes and sizes ranging from urban, rural, industrial, agricultural to suburban.

While homes are much more expensive in the larger city markets, the same amount of money in smaller cities can buy a near-mansion with 3,000 square feet of living area, a spacious yard, golf course views and four full bathrooms. Travel only 30 miles out of most cities in the US and you can get twice as much for your money. The most populous cities in the US are New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago.

The average cost of renting a two-bedroom apartment in America’s major cities are:

• New York City: $4,500US per month
• Los Angeles: $2,656US per month
• Chicago: $1,873US per month
