A Million Dollars will still buy you a nice Home in Aliso Viejo:
There was a recent article by the Associated press titled "Million-dollar homes are now a dime a dozen" which delved into the issue of how little of a home a million dollars will buy today in markets such as New York, San Francisco or London. For example, a Million dollars will buy an average 1,050 Square Foot condo apartment in Manhattan’s Upper West Side... this is a decent sized Condo by New York standards. It has five rooms (wow, those are small bedrooms), No chandeliers, no soaring cathedral ceilings and no doorman downstairs to help with groceries.
Comparatively speaking, a million dollars will buy you a very nice detached home in Aliso Viejo, CA. For example, $1,049,000 can buy you a 4 bedroom, 3 bath, 3 car garage, detached home with 2,654 SqFt of living area on a 5,500 SqFt lot. No one living above or below you and plenty of room to park your cars and toys, plus a nice sized yard to play with the kids. It does not come with a doorman, but then again, neither does the Million dollar 1,050 SqFt condo in New York. Converting to price per square foot, the New York condo calculates to $1,000 per Square Foot as compared to the detached home in Aliso Viejo which yields $395 per Square Foot.
At this price difference, I'll take Aliso Viejo over New York in a heart beat. And look at what Aliso Viejo has to offer - beautiful newer neighborhoods set in the rolling hills - 6 miles to arguably the most beautiful beaches in the USA - near perfect weather 52 weeks a year - blue ribbon public schools - some of the lowest crime in the USA - clean air - close proximity to many high paying jobs - and plenty of entertainment close by - and lots of options for the outdoors enthusiast. I'm convinced... Aliso Viejo real estate is a bargain compared to New York!
