American Dream homes: Prices in 9 cities

According to Coldwell Banker, Americans aspire to own a four-bedroom, two-bath home with roughly 2,200 square feet of space. What you'll pay, however, varies dramatically: from an average of $60,000 in Redford, Mich., to $1.7 million in Los Altos, Calif.

San Diego

  • This home: $549,000
  • Description: 4 beds, 2 baths; 2,082 square feet

Home values in San Diego have rebounded nicely from their post-bubble bottoms. This Spanish Colonial home, with its gleaming white stucco and terra-cotta roof tiles, features desert plants in the front yard and a concrete and brick patio with a built in barbecue in the back.

Inside, there's a fireplace in the family room, a walk-in shower in the master bath, and built-in bookcases in one of the bedrooms.

Another bonus: The roof is equipped with solar panels to soak in the Southern California sunshine and reduce the energy bills.
