Unsurprisingly, you’ll be lucky to find anything larger than 700 square feet anywhere near a beach. The same goes for our nation’s capital and the burgeoning marijuana metropolis that is Denver, Colorado.

El Paso, San Antonio, Nashville and Indianapolis are all areas buyers should look into if they want to stretch their money the farthest. Feel free to analyze the chart above as you plot your next big move.
