WOW. What You Get in a $1 Million Dollar House in Cedar Falls vs. Los Angeles

There's a thought most people in 'flyover' country have when we see homes in Los Angeles: 'WOW, that must cost a fortune.' And many homes do. In LA, one-million bucks doesn't necessarily get you a lot of home. It may get you into a good neighborhood, but that really may be it. There's NO doubt you get more home in Iowa than southern California.

Well, I searched and searched listings in Los Angeles and I actually found a really nice LA home for a million. I compared it to a home in Cedar Falls to see where (and what) you get for a mil in each location.

First off, a tail of the tape:

• Los Angeles Home
  1,364 square feet
  2-bedrooms
  2-bathroom
• Cedar Falls Home
  6,100 square feet
  6-bedrooms
  6-Bathrooms

So there you have the basics, which I'll remind you of once we start. Speaking of, let's dive in!
