From a four-bedroom in Arizona to a tiny studio in New York: What $325,000 buys you across America

• e-mail

Investing $325,000 in a new home will lead to drastically different results depending on where you decide to unpack your bags.

House prices around the country have gone up by 5.4 per cent over the past year, according to real estate website Zillow.

The median price of a house in the United States has now reached $187,000. But even $325,000, which is not far from twice that sum, will not necessarily afford you a lavish pad, CBS News reported in a selection of listings.

Out of ten properties, four only have one-bedroom - and these are located in New York City, Chicago, Honolulu and Omaha.

This  one-bathroom studio in Manhattan, tucked away in the Upper East Side, has hit the market at $325,000 - well above the median house price in the United States

The New York apartment (pictured in the kitchen area), located in a 1920 co-op, occupies 315 square feet. The price also includes laundry facilities in the building

Also in the one-bedroom category, a condo is available in Chicago for $325,000 (pictured is the building). The price tag includes access to the building's gym and rooftop deck

Conversely, four of the homes offer four bedrooms. They can be found in Charlotte, Tucson, Portland and Atlanta.

House prices around the country will continue increasing during the year ahead and will go up by 2.9 per cent, Zillow predicted.

The 525-square-foot pad, located in the downtown area, also comes with a pool and a laundry room.
