It's a shame how expensive America is becoming... When a veteran like myself has to live in a poor area so they can afford to live. Seattle is now the fifth most expensive city in America. Average rents in Seattle or going for about $1500 and up for a studio or a small one bedroom. I've had no choice over the recent years but to rent a room in a house for $600 a month in Seattle. I'd like my own apartment. So if I gotta move to Pikeville Kentucky or to Jackson Tennessee I'll do it. I'm aware of Cookeville Tennessee being a retiree destination but I don't think it's that cheap there anymore. If I can get an apartment in around in Indianapolis for $600 I would consider it. but I'm sure Indianapolis is going to be getting more expensive quickly as other large cities are becoming. I'll research fort Wayne Indiana a little more to I once drove through there.

You should check out the eastern TN area, namely both Johnson City or Greeneville, TN. Johnson City has a really incredible VA Hospital, at Mountain Home. Plus the mountain views are amazing, the winters are not so bad, and there are a lot of folks retiring in this area.

I did an apartments.com search for apartments/condos in both towns and each has 4 or 5 nice looking ones in the 400-500/month range.

If you want a little bit bigger, Syracuse has a very good VA Hospital in this area of the city: https://university-hill.com/
https://www.syracuse.va.gov/ and has similar housing nearby: McCarthy Manor
https://www.apartments.com/mccarthy-...se-ny/30zypxe/ There are similar types of housing in other parts of the city that are solid to very nice as well.


Also, say you can get into that apartment, you actually have this a couple of blocks away, if interested and while the VA Hospital isn't too far away as well: https://syracusestage.org/index.php

This is an option in terms of the second option in regards to public transportation: Connective Corridor

Canandaigua has some as well: https://www.myrts.com/Ontario/Maps-and-Schedules (a part of the Rochester Transportation System)
