A standard 1,500-square-foot home can be extremely affordable - or wildly expensive - depending upon location.

We teamed up with Trulia to find the median home value of similarly-sized houses in the 25 most populous cities in the US, from notoriously-expensive New York City to Indianapolis and Columbus, two of the most affordable cities for millennials to buy a home. The most expensive city on the list, perhaps unsurprisingly, is San Francisco. Previous reporting from Business Insider's Katie Canales shows that even a "fixer" home will sell for over half of a million dollars.
