Home prices in the U.S. have been on a rapid ascent. According to data from Realtor.com, the national median list price in November 2021 was $379,000, up 8.6% compared with 2020. On the plus side, mortgage rates, though up slightly, are still near historic lows — with some 30-year rates around 3.2% and some 15-year rates around 2.4% — and in some towns you can still buy a house for $100,000 or less.
You’ll also enjoy myriad outdoor activities in places like Belle Isle Park, a 982-acre island and nature conservatory that includes an aquarium. And Detroit has emerged as a hotspot for culinary innovation. It’s home to restaurants including Takoi, which was a 2017 James Beard semifinalist for best new restaurant, and the Apparatus Room, which is housed inside the Detroit Foundation Hotel and run by executive chef Thomas Lents.
For a college-town feel: Birmingham, Alabama Birmingham is home to attractions including the award-winning Alabama Ballet, the Alabama Symphony Orchestra and Barber Motorsports Park, which includes the largest motorcycle museum in the world. It’s home to the University of Alabama at Birmingham and just over 50 miles from the flagship University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, which in addition to its marquee sports programs has an entire college devoted to continuing studies for lifelong learners.
For the history buff: Jackson, Mississippi Jackson has established itself as a center for learning about the history of both slavery and civil rights. Historical attractions include the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum and the Mississippi Freedom Trail, which has 25 markers along the trail that commemorate the civil-rights movement. Housing in Jackson remains affordable, with the average home price running around $77,689.
The point of buying property is stable investment, what’s the point of cheap 5 bedrooms and 3 baths if it’s losing value?
Good thought for retirement costs.

Birmingham at least has the coolest motorcycle museum in the world
These are literally the worst places to live for crime and education, which is why they are cheap. Stupid article
