Everyone talks about the affordable real estate market in St. Louis, but sometimes a visual comparison is the best way to realize how good we really have it. T&S found houses with similar price points in three major cities—Chicago, San Francisco and New York City—and, trust us, no amount of deep-dish pizza or sourdough bread can beat our area’s large lots, expansive homes and low price tags.
