Every year the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network publishes a World Happiness Report. The ranking of countries is based on such factors as GDP per capita, social support, healthy life expectancy, freedom to make life choices, generosity and absence of corruption (or rather the public perception of the degree of corruption). So, we decided to do some research and see what types of apartments/houses you can buy with $500,000 in the capital cities of the top ten happiest countries in the world. The US was ranked #13, so it will not be on the list today, but check out our article on What $500k can buy you in the cheapest and most expensive states!
