And this is before mentioning the comparatively great value to be found in suburban Westchester and Fairfield Counties, where you can purchase a spacious stately-looking home on a large lot for $1.5-1.75 million. In tony Scarsdale, there's currently a 6,000-SF, 6-bed, 6.5-bath home on a 1.1-acre lot on the market for a little less than $2 million. The house is ugly, but the fact that you can get that much real estate in a posh suburb just a one-seat, 45-minute train ride away from the heart of Midtown Manhattan is astounding.

Meanwhile, $2 million can't even get you into Atherton. But it can get you this nice 1,800-SF condo in Palo Alto:
