Default How much would this property cost in various parts of the U.S

OK, this is probably an impossible question.

I'm looking to buy a property when I start my PhD. Where I do my PhD is as yet unknown. I am looking for a 2 bedroom place. I imagine there will be one big living/reception room with an adjoining kitchen. I would like to live in a decent neighbourhood (i.e. low crime) within 5 miles of campus.

Universities I would like to get into include:

Stanford
Berkeley
Harvard
MIT
Chicago

Go!

I'm not looking for anything palatial - you are sure it will be 700K? That is as much as London!

If you mean buying, I can verify this.

No idea about the rest but Stanford and Berkeley will both cost you somewhere around 3/4 million.

You might be able to find something for $550k within 15 miles of Stanford.

Something palatial around Stanford would cost you *way* more than 700k.

The housing market here in the Bay Area has been going up and up and up for quite a while. I regret not buying 4 or 5 years ago when I though, "Holy [censored]! $450k for that 1 bedroom condo?" 6-figures of rent later, that condo sells for more than double what I could have paid.

Though we are due for at least a small correction sometime soon. Some signs point to things flattening out already or slightly dipping, but nothing solid yet. Of course I've thought the same thing every year since.

You don't even want to hear my 'holy [censored] why did I do that' bay area property story.

It's very very ugly.
