With inflation constantly looming over the heads of Americans, people are looking to save money when making big lifestyle choices. For those moving or thinking about buying a new home, affordability is usually at the top of mind. Better cost of living, cheaper transportation expenses, and lower utility bills are great motivations for moving to a different area. Cheaper doesn't always mean better. Sometimes these locations lack amenities, job opportunities, and other appealing attributes to attract new residents. As a result, most people settle for places that strike a balance or suit their preferences.
