Twenty years ago, it was widely believed that $1 million could buy your dream home and in many places it still can. However, if you live in New York or London then you’ll be lucky to get a small one-bedroom apartment. Here, we take a look at what’s on the market for around $1 million in five major cities.
London
Christie's International Real Estate At 570 square feet, this one bedroom apartment in London's White City neighborhood on the site of the BBC’s former headquarters will get you the least bang for your buck. The building it’s in is also not yet completed so it will require a bit of imagination. View the full listing
New York
Sotheby's International Realty Also still on the very small side is this 850-square-foot one bedroom apartment on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, close to the Hudson river. The buyer will have access to the building’s roof garden and a large health club. View the full listing
Miami
One Sotheby's International Realty While this 960-square-foot one bedroom apartment in the 18-story Roney Palace condo in South Beach isn’t much bigger, the buyer will get ocean views and have access to the building’s four swimming pools. View the full listing
Barcelona
Barcelona & Costa Brava Sotheby's International Realty Double the size of the Miami condo is this 1,839-square-foot renovated 18th century home in central Barcelona. It has two double bedrooms, a terrace and four balconies and is very close to the Cathedral and Las Ramblas. View the full listing
