depends on where you live. if you're a monumental fucking retard trying to live in or near a major city $800k would be a bargain and suburban houses usually run like $1,500,000 average. in a medium-sized city $500k will get you a very large house in a nice white suburb, of course they only sell to you if you're white (no, they don't advertise this, obviously, because that would be illegal) apartments also vary, but last i checked in the bay area (most expensive place in the us) they were over $4000 a month for the average two bedroom.
