What a Million Bucks Gets You
Take a look at the different homes available for that princely sum -- and how location impacts how far your money will go
What kind of house can you buy for a million dollars? That depends very much on what part of the country you're looking in. If it's in Middlesex, Va., you can get a 1649 plantation on the river with a sandy beach for that price (but some restoration may be in order). If you're looking in Long Island's tony Hamptons area, four bedrooms may be the best a million will buy.
The following are some homes around the country, from quaint cottage to towering mansion, all selling for around $1 million.
