I was wondering the same thing. I've lived in Mishawaka, IN my whole life, it's the only place I can afford. At 40, I'd love to move to CO or UT, but I just can't swing that kind of rent.
The COL has skyrocketed here in Pittsburgh since this thread was started in 2011. A one bedroom will start at $1500 for the desirable area.
The comment from fenstratpick is dead on.
"Western NY cities like Buffalo and Rochester, Ohio cities like Cleveland Columbus and Cincinnati, All major Texas cities etc"
Some really good metros that come to mind: Charlotte, Nashville, Norfolk/Virginia Beach, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Kansas City, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Houston, and maybe Phoenix. I would love to suggest Tampa/St. Petersburg and Orlando, but with you renting, rents are pretty high there, even though single family home prices are pretty affordable. Good luck!
