  • The cost per square foot for homes can vary drastically from city to city.
  • You can get a lot more space in Dallas or Chicago than in New York or the Bay Area.
  • To compare home size across housing markets, real estate listing site Trulia pulled listings in the $500,000 range for the 25 biggest US metros.

Space is hard to come by in some of America's most popular housing markets.

Homebuyers in New York, for instance, are paying over $1,000 per square foot right now, while buyers in Detroit and Chicago are paying closer to $400 per square foot.

To find out how home sizes compare across America, we asked Trulia to gather listings in the $500,000 range for the country's largest metro areas by population.

Below, check out how much square footage buyers get for homes priced between $499,000 and $525,000 in 25 popular cities, ordered from lowest to highest cost per square foot.
