Hawaii’s capital city recently made the website’s list of the top 10 cities with the highest cost per square foot for buying a home — the list doesn’t distinguish between a single-family home or condominium — but placed outside the top 10 for highest cost per square foot for renting a one-bedroom apartment, coming in at No. 12.
San Francisco was the most expensive city to both own and rent a home. Buying there will set a buyer back nearly $1,071 per square foot, while Boston was No. 2 for owning with a cost per square foot of $742.
Honolulu beat out New York, Washington, DC, and the California cities Fremont, San Jose, Glendale, Los Angeles and Oakland in price per square foot.
