With home prices reaching an all-time high of $405,000 in the United States, a new report by Point2 looks at how much square footage $400,000 buys in the nation’s 100 largest cities.

Among the data for the Bay Area and California:

• Five cities in California offer buyers more than 1,000 square feet of living space for $400,000: Bakersfield and Fresno lead the way, with 1,860 square feet and 1,747, respectively
• San Francisco and Fremont provide the least space for the new median, between 400 and 494 square feet
• Nationwide, San Francisco comes second, following only Manhattan which offers the least space at 267 square feet
• Buyers can get twice as much home for $400,000 in Riverside or in Sacramento than in San Jose, where the median price per square foot is close to $800.
