Ad AgencyLots of cities in the midwest with affordable homes such as Cincinnati, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Decatur (Illinois), Fort Wayne (IN), Moberly (Missouri), Bloomfield (Iowa), Medina Tennessee, Princeton (WV) and Parsons (KS). Parsons, Kansas offers homes for $80,000. Amazing values.

Billy StylishYou just have to pick the most "fun" & safe city of this list like Columbus Ohio or Kansas City. The cheapest one might get you to East St Louis, Missouri or Gary, Indiana and I doubt you want that.
