Just for fun. Cities with an affordable COL that also provide urban walkability.
Define affordable versus your occupation/salary. Major cities that are walkable can tend to be viewed as "expensive", but salaries compensate which is what allows residents living there the ability to enjoy living there. By comparison there are many "affordable" cities that don't allow the ability to enjoy life so much with salaries not conducive to everyday costs.
Pretty much the "older" cities/metros of the Interior Northeast and Midwest, with perhaps a few older Southern metros. This is on the surface or looking at the overall COL in relation to the national average COL. Things like pay, crime/safety and the degree of walkability/density/built environment may be factors too. With this said, you can find areas that line up positively in terms of these factors in the areas mentioned.
For a low COL, Shaker Square is great (2 rails lines, grocery store, movie theater, 1920's architecture, coffee shops, restaurants...all within a few blocks) and close to University Circle and a short train ride to Downtown Cleveland.
