New York homes cost $832,000, so Gen Z is flocking to a city 90 miles away where they can buy nearly 3 houses for the price of one

The main reason is the rising housing costs as a typical home in the New York metro sells for about $832,000, compared with just $309,000 in Philadelphia, according to Redfin.
