Florida Panhandle, outside of the beach resorts. I built near an economically depressed fishing town (small coastal town). Real estate is pretty cheap but people are starting to find it now. The beaches aren't great until you drive for an hour but nature, kayaking, fishing, biking are great. No crowds, it's a 20 minute drive for groceries and doctors, 45 minutes to an airport. Very conservative if that matters. It ran me about $250k to build a 1,850 ft2 house on pilings. Existing houses are cheaper. My house is on acreage that runs around $4k/acre and I bought a reasonable sized chunk; next to a wildlife refuge. A neighbor with a nice elevated 1,700 ft2 house on a lake and with 10+ acres recently died and the house sold for $300k.

Oh yeah, that was before the pandemic, so it’s probably more now.
was looking in Skagit County and north right before Covid and thought real estate was dirt cheap compared to where I'm at, I wouldn't have anything to do with living in Seattle, and I'm sure some of the popular areas like Gig Harbor are pretty pricey, I was looking at rural type areas

East Tennessee might be an option. We live right across the border in Virginia. There are mountains, hiking, kayaking, etc. Also, the housing prices are decent.

Arkansas has everything you are looking for. Lived here almost 20 years, and would never consider moving back to LA.
Better schools, better scenery, better hunting, and cost of living is cheap.

Has anyone said Bawcomville yet?

Anything affordable is getting scooped up by investors and flipped for $150,000 more than they paid. You picked the worst time to move.

Bristol TN, Hot Springs NC, Watauga Lake area of TN, Damascus/Abington VA, Cleveland or Athens TN, Roan Mountain TN. Muscle Shoals/Florence AL,
These are areas I’d consider nice places to live with relatively moderate housing prices.

That's where I'm going hopefully I can meet an Arkansas grad to date

The Piedmont/foothills region of NC is very affordable and there’s enough population to where there’s things to do, but still small enough to where you don’t feel like you’re in suburbs (Winston Salem, Hickory, etc). You’re close to Charlotte and Raleigh and in the foothills of the mountains.
I don’t live there now, but the affordability has intrigued me.

There are pockets in northern Georgia that are affordable as well

I will say, housing is super expensive, but $3500 is a little bit of an exaggeration. $2000/month for a 2bd I think is more accurate.
I was more so referring to places like Chicago/NYC/SF

Idaho is your answer. One of the lowest taxes I'm the country I believe too.

Yep, though the cat is out of the bag, and folks are moving there, housing prices are rising.
