Any suggestions on a nice place to move my family where prices are reasonable?

Answer 1

My husband is originally from Kentucky, and I used to live in Connecticut, and I have to say, except there being more space, there is not much difference. It is also cheaper, and the gas is cheaper, too, because we have a manufacturer of it in our own state! It's good for kids because they can play outside without too much worry about their safety, plus, most homes even in towns have a good sized area of land (unless you live in a condo or apartment). Kentucky has paved roads and malls and clubs and schools with more than one room like everywhere else and excellent highways--some of the best I've seen. If you have a problem with tornadoes as your choice of area natural disaster, then you may not like the fact most thunderstorms spark a tornadoe warning, but we even had those in Ct, so it wasn't too much of a change (okay, I did have to go in the basement once, but just b/c it was in our area). Kentucky also doesn't have much more racism than other places. I'm Black and hispanic, and no one has been other than very nice and acommodating other than maybe 1 or two people of all those I've met. The only people who have a hard time are those who clearly look hispanic, because everyone thinks "mexican," but that's pretty much anywhere in the states right now. Even the few who have the confederate flag on their stuff aren't neccesarily going to burn your house if you're not white. I dunno, some of those flag-wavers are more courteous than those who don't. Anyways, you can get a house here for about a third of the price anywhere else in the country. The schools leave something to be desired, but if your children already have a sound base in reading and math, they won't suffer. Kentucky has beauty and urbanity, culture and humility. It's worth suffering the hillbilly jokes for all that you get.

Answer 2

Buffalo, NY and Western NY have wonderful people and an amazingly low cost of living. Niagara Falls is right around the corner, and so is Cleveland and Toronto.

Not to mention very good Chicken Wings and Ted's Hot Dogs!

I live in the NYC area now, and wow, talk about culture shock....home prices here are just ridiculous. Sure, you get higher salaries, but your commute is longer and you get smaller houses for your money compared the the almost "mansions" you can get in Buffalo and suburbs.

Answer 3

Kansas City. But come fast if you want because as we get new things like more events coming and the sprint center and all that stuff prices will rise, also there are foreclosed homes in good areas that are awsomely sweet that you can buy for under $3,000 if you want more information do a yahoo search.
