Have you looked at Realtor.Com? Lots of info there from all MLS listings.

Although it's in SW Nebraska, you might want to check out housing prices in McCook ZIP IS 69001.

Good luck in your search.. I hope you find something that works for you and end up in Nebraska.

I don't live in Nebraska anymore, but it was a GREAT place to raise kids! We raised 4 in a small southwestern Nebraska town (pop 5,000). Excellent school systems in Nebraska, and low cost of housing. Downside - property taxes are really high and it's hard to find a good paying job in rural Nebraska (Omaha & Lincoln are better for jobs; Kearney tri-cities area isn't too bad for smaller cities). Be sure you check things out ahead of time. Unless you're moving to Omaha or Lincoln you'd want to have your employment lined up ahead of time.

Only thing I can tell you is any town you consider will welcome you with open arms with that kind of money to spend in their city, however just because you decide to move there, and spend the money, does not mean they will let you acutally become a citizen of the community.

I have been there done that, I have lived in this small town now for over 12 years and am still considered an outsider, always shall be inasmuch as my last name does not fit in with, or am not related to the powerweilding group.

I would suggest you stick to the larger metropolitain areas where you will fit in with the deverse population, avoid Custer County, in particular Sargent.

I have found through different cities in this state that my family has lived in. Including a couple of the largest to some of the smallest. If you put your best foot forward you will be accepted. If you go in with the right attitude, get involved in some way, even if its just attending church or perhaps a highschool event. Or even a soup supper or pancake feed. Let people see you, get to know you, you certainly up your chances in being accepted. If you prefer to be a hermit and keep to yourself or have an attitude of I don't fit in or won't, I don't believe you probably ever will.

I will still keep Nebraska's rural living and people at the top of my list of places to live. My career & chosen occupation has taken me to the other places also, not only on business but too live, so I feel I speak from experience.
