Cheapest Places to Live in America ...
By Olga

If you’re one of those who want to relocate and find the cheapest places to live in America or if you’re merely curious as to which places in the United States only require a minimal amount in order for you and your family to survive, then look no further. Who knows, you may want to move soon or you know someone who wants to rent a cheap place. We’re also going to cite some places where there’s cheap beer! Read on!

For cheaper places to rent, there’s Wichita, Kansas; Oklahoma City; Tulsa, Oklahoma; Dayton, Ohio and Knoxville, Tennessee. In Wichita, for instance, you can get a 600-square foot one-bedroom with a huge kitchen and full-size washer and dryer for only $470. How’s that for a steal? Plus get this: golf and country club fees are included. Now that’s a great package for sports aficionados. In Oklahoma City, on the other hand, you can easily get a 900 square foot home with a gym! How’s that for another steal? Now for people who are thinking of moving to Dayton, Ohio **soon, keep your eyes **peeled as you may have the chance to get a 500 square foot one-bedroom by the lake and with your own parking space, no less! All that for only $570 a month.

Now in terms of beer (which is hardly a basic consumption, by the way), here’s what I was able to unearth:

Allentown, Pa $1.25 USD
Antigo, Wi $1.25 USD
Athens, OH $1.85 USD
Elmira , NY $1.75 USD
Fort, Tx $1.99 USD
Islip $1 USD
Lock Haven Pa. $1.75 USD
Mt. Vernon, IL. $1.5 USD
Pontiac,MI $1 USD
Shanghai $1.57 USD
Sunnyvale $1.52 USD
Tamaqua $1.75 USD
Texarkana,Ar $1.5 USD
Waterford, MI $1.55 USD
Wenona, IL $1 USD
Wheeling, WV $1.25 USD

What do you think? Do these types of figures help you figure out if you may want to move soon or not?

Some of these places don't have a state attached to them. Where is Sunnydale? Tamaqua? Shanghai? Islip?

Great list. I live in Toronto, Canada and i must say that the rent at some of these US towns is ridiculously cheap. In Toronto you'd be lucky to get an average one bedroom apartment in a decent part of town for $1000. I never considered moving to the states but with these cheap prices i just might.

Cool...but it still expensive for us. In Mojokerto city, Indonesia you can rent a 36 square metres house with 2 bedroom, kitchen, garage and bathroom only about 200 USD for one year.....

As a native, I will tell you that all cities in Kansas are dirt cheap to live in. But the better deal is to live in a small town within driving distance to wichita. I lived in a town of about 10 thousand people and rented a nice 1 bed 1 bath on main street for 250 a month. Even in Wichita prices go a lot lower than what listed here. You can get an apartment for 300, but it will be in a bad part of town. As far as jobs go, it depends on what you are doing. The pay is comparable to other places, but there aren't a lot of good jobs to go around. There are few if any big law firms in the state, for example.

I used to live in Texarkana Tx.. and now I live in the Bay area of CA ... your figures couldn't be more right!!! My best friend has a 3 bedroom 2 1/2 bath house with a living room, kitchen, dining room, garage, a huge backyard, etc... For $680 a month!!!!! You couldn't get a decent rat hole for that little in San Jose!!! It's ridiculous, but I love the weather and the beaches so I suppose its worth it.

oh boy is any place really ever cheap? income never seems to match up to dreams and lifestyle but good list! one day I might own my place :)
