Is there anywhere decent to move with relatively low housing prices?

There's always a little bit cheaper place to find.
May be a fixer upper, may not be on much land, may be near a loud interstate, etc.
Typically, you're gonna pay for what you get. Further, your home you're in now surely has appreciated where you can tap in to those additional funds towards your new home

I moved out of Nola about 6 years ago. I'm now in DFW area and while quality of life is exponentially better, I'm still not happy here. Too hot, too flat, no scenery.

I like the outdoors. hiking, mtn biking, kayaking etc and love the mountains and small coastal towns.

I work for a national corporation and can transfer almost anywhere that has an office. I've been on realtor and checking out northern CA, eastern Oregon, Colorado, Idaho, Utah, Western North Carolina, Eastern Tennessee, northern Alabama, and northwstern Nevada and home prices are nuts. I'm not even looking for anything big.

I want less than 1800sq ft. I want to pay about $250k or less. I don't want a double wide I don't want to live in the ghetto.

Does this exist anywhere worth living for outdoor types?

No mountains or coastal, but lots of lakes in Western Kentucky. It's the most beautiful part of the state. I wish I lived there.

Arkansas is what you’re looking for. We really enjoyed Fayetteville and that whole area.

Someone posted an article a while back that there are counties/towns in Arkansas that are paying people to move there. I think they are looking for folks ibn the tech industry, and people to support it (medical, etc.)

Huntsville, AL - end of discussion.

Bawcomville is what you're looking for.

East Tennessee

Can't wait to live there permanently.

Unless you do a lot of digging, the answer you're gonna get here is no.

Anywhere with low housing prices that's a nice place to live is probably being kept very tightly under wraps right now. As people move into a nice area, so does crime, traffic, pollution, noise, and all the other shite that goes along with urban living.

We love Boise, but so do many other people. And unless we make a LOT more money, we'll never be able to afford the kind of house we want here.

There has to be some sort of trade off in that regard. If you want peace and quiet and beautiful landscapes, get ready for harsh winters with little supply access. If you want to be around other people, be prepared to pay $3500/month for a 700 square foot apartment unless you want to live in the ghetto.

If there were places with low costs of living that fit the mold of "decent", they would cease to have low costs of living. LCOL places are LCOL for a reason.
