5 US Metros Where Buyers Could Buy a Luxury Home for Less Than $1 Million
For years, the phrase 'million-dollar home' has evoked images of sprawling estates, high-end finishes and exclusive neighborhoods. But as home prices continue to climb across the U.S., $1 million doesn't stretch as far as it used to. This is especially true in major cities. According to a recent Redfin report, the median price for a luxury home nationwide has soared to almost $1.35 million, up about 70% from nearly $798,000 in 2020. However, if you're dreaming of luxury living on a sub-million-dollar budget, a few U.S. metros still offer opportunities. Read Next: Find Out: Here are five cities where luxury is still within reach, without crossing into seven-figure territory. Also see the most expensive place to buy a home in every Western state. Cleveland Median luxury home price: $757,046 Cleveland is quickly gaining recognition as a hidden gem in the luxury real estate market. With the city's median luxury price of just over $757,000, buyers can afford spacious homes with upscale features in desirable neighborhoods like Shaker Heights and Cleveland Heights. These areas are known for their historic charm and tree-lined streets. Since 2015, Cleveland's luxury prices have climbed 59%, but prices still pale in comparison to markets like San Francisco or Seattle, where the median prices top $6 million and $2.9 million, respectively. Check Out: Pittsburgh Median luxury home price: $846,715 Pittsburgh offers a unique blend of modern amenities, green spaces and a strong local economy all while keeping luxury home prices surprisingly low. With a median price around $847,000 for a luxury property, it's one of the last larger metros where buyers can still purchase a top-tier home without hitting the million-dollar mark. According to Redfin, the city has seen a 53.2% increase in luxury home prices since 2015, a slower pace compared with national trends, leaving plenty of room for potential growth. Indianapolis Median luxury home price: $914,276 Indianapolis might not be the first city that comes to mind when thinking of luxury, but it's quietly become a top destination for buyers seeking high-end homes without the hefty price tag. The metro's median luxury price of just over $914,000 makes it one of the most affordable places to live large. Neighborhoods like Meridian-Kessler and Geist Reservoir offer spacious homes, private lots and access to top-rated schools. With a 65.3% increase in luxury home prices since 2015, Indianapolis has seen steady appreciation, which is a sign of long-term value for homebuyers. Its low cost of living and growing economy also make it a strong contender for those relocating from higher-cost areas. St. Louis Median luxury home price: $914,453 Next up is St. Louis. With a median luxury home price just shy of $915,000, buyers here can find historical mansions, modern new builds and everything in between. Neighborhoods such as Ladue and Clayton offer stately homes with high-end finishes, all within commuting distance to downtown. Luxury home prices in St. Louis have climbed 51.9% over the last decade, but the city remains significantly more affordable than other large metros. For those looking to trade in sky-high prices for space and serenity, St. Louis may be a perfect fit. San Antonio Median luxury home price: $957,854 San Antonio stands out as the only Texas metro on Redfin's list with luxury homes priced just under $1 million. Known for its rich history, cultural attractions and warm weather, San Antonio is increasingly drawing in buyers from Austin, Dallas and beyond who are looking for more space and less competition. The city's luxury housing market has grown significantly, with prices rising nearly 68.7% since 2015. San Antonio's relative affordability, along with its vibrant downtown and strong job market, keeps it high on the list for both local buyers and out-of-state transplants.

University Hospitals doctors claim they were fired for trying to unionize; the hospital said it was misconduct
SHAKER HEIGHTS, Ohio (WJW) — Two University Hospitals pediatric doctors who claim they were fired for trying to unionize joined a mass picket outside a UH facility in Shaker Heights on Friday morning. The hospital system, however, said the doctors were terminated for improperly using a hospital app to access the contact information of thousands of UH workers in their attempt to organize. I-Team: Judge rules on dismissal of Browns lawsuit Fired pediatrician Dr. Valerie Fouts-Fowler told FOX 8 News from the picket line on Friday that more than 6,000 people have since signed a petition calling for the reinstatement of herself and Dr. Lauren Beene, who were terminated in June. Hundreds of others have mailed postcards to UH directors. 'When we were fired, thousands of patients' lives were affected,' Beene told FOX 8 News. 'Our patients suddenly found themselves without their primary care physician. That caused a lot of community outrage. 'I think also this issue of us being terminated — this is a much bigger issue than Val and me and our jobs at UH. This is about silencing physicians who are coming together to try to make patient care better.' A Tuesday email from the doctors' Friends of Concerned Physicians coalition said the movement was intended to bring light to issues in the hospital system that affect patient care. The hospital system in a Thursday statement said it had received complaints of unsolicited text messages being repeatedly sent to its workers, and determined the physicians had improperly collected personal contact information of some 4,000 workers through a UH care coordination app. University Hospitals issued a statement on Friday that read: Let's be clear: The decision to terminate these two physicians had absolutely nothing to do with union organizing. The only reason we launched an investigation into this matter was because of complaints from UH physicians about being sent unsolicited text messages. An investigation determined these two physicians went into a care coordination app, accessed the personal data of 4,000 colleagues, and repeatedly sent them unsolicited text messages that had nothing to do with care coordination. That is why they were terminated. UH leaders repeatedly sought to work together with the now-terminated physicians throughout their careers to address any concerns these physicians raised. No one is being silenced. There is not one issue that UH leaders ducked, ignored or did not seek to address with each physician involved. In fact, when these two physicians expressed concerns, UH leaders offered to meet with them in person. These physicians chose not to meet. Many other physicians raise concerns that are addressed daily — all done without improperly accessing thousands of their colleagues' personal data and sending them unsolicited text messages. Any suggestion that UH seeks to silence physicians is simply wrong. Those allegations do a disservice to the hardworking physicians and leaders who dedicate their lives to caring for our patients and our community. Statement from Mike Tobin, vice president of communications, University Hospitals Health System Laborer dies in accident at Sherwin-Williams construction site in Cleveland The coalition, in a Thursday email regarding the Friday picket, called on the hospital system to 'respect physicians' right to organize and advocate for patients,' to 'uphold transparency, patient-centered values and a culture where speaking up is protected' and to reinstate Beene and Fouts-Fowler. 'I miss my patients and I want to get back to them,' Fouts-Fowler said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
