Here's the Best, Cheapest Cities To Move in Every Single State

- Who would have thought there were so many hidden gems to move to in the United States?
I took a bunch of data from the best list and combined a bunch of data with the cheapest list and was shocked when I ran the data and it spit out a really solid list of great cheap places to live. I was like damn. This is the ultimate list. And i’m sharing it with you today.
And that’s what we’re going to go through in this video. Every state has a best cheapest place to live. Or a cheap best place to live - however you want to think about it. Hopefully these cities remain cheap and great. We need more cheap and great in this nation. Seems more and more these days, GOOD places to live that are actually affordable are harder and harder to find.
If you’re trying to move and you want an idea of a place that’s booming, where there’s lots of jobs and homes are going up fast, this will help. Or maybe you’re like some people and you want to AVOID the crowds. Let’s take a look at the fastest growing cities in the US - and we’re gonna travel in style.

The best video on this topic!
300k is only affordable if you sell your 400k house in your old city.
Exactly this is delusional video
Right !
300k means 1000-1600$ mortgage just have to save a lot more. and thats how it is now. if you buy like 150k-200k you have a steal cause mortgage is 5-800 dollars
@@DoctorP007 Well said!
Great point
“It’s Rhode Island, everything is just outside of providence” a fact
But seriously ALL the way to Warwick!?! Lol😉
Kind of like Atlanta - there's Atlanta and then there's the rest of Georgia.
For sure, considering that state is smaller than some counties in other states.
A state that will be underwater in a few decades due to climate change.
@@jeremiahallyn4603 I live in Maricopa County az and you could fit almost 9 Rhode islands in the county alone
Not even looking for a house just love the content
Me too
@@NickJohnson Me too lol 😆. Hi Nick thank you, great video.
@@NickJohnson most of us on here.
Same I am just watching for fun
Aye, it's quite a good show on here!!
You do a good job and put a lot of work into this segment. Thank you for the information
Ok!
Utah has gone insane.. I live in Utah, but we just bought a farm in Arkansas with 10X the land, same size house and a STOCKED pond for about a third of our utah home !
And probably displaced the residents in Arkansas while you did it. Good job destroying your local area by taking your big city money into a poorer area doing exactly what's happening to Utah.
@@JesusChrist2000BC no, i didn’t 😂 the people passed away. I was born and raised in Arkansas, then moved . If I ‘took’ my money ANYWHERE it was Utah 😂 I guess I should never buy a house anywhere 😂 I also didn’t ‘displace’ anyone in Utah because The house was BUILT for me and there has never been another resident in it. I made my ‘big money’ in Arkansas (where I opened a new office) and Utah … AND THAT’s where it was SPENT 😂
@@raineedaytinyfilms You literally sold your home for 3x the cost and then moved to a much cheaper area and displaced the residents. It doesn't make a difference if your from the state or not. That has ZERO to do with anything. You are a grade A hypocrite. The same people you complain about is who you now are.
@@JesusChrist2000BC I actually never said I sold a house 😂 I literally still own them both… I’m sure you’re next ‘insult’ is that no one should have two houses 😂
@@JesusChrist2000BC also, I never made money in ‘big cities’ both of these homes are nice & RURAL :))
EXACTLY the information I was looking for. Thanks Nick!
I know Nick hates on Vegas but after living here two years the only bad areas are North Vegas & the immediate right side of the strip. Summerlin, Centennial Hills, Spring Valley, Silverado Ranch, Seven Hills, Green Valley, Rhodes Ranch are really really nice areas.
I'll be there tomorrow
Where did you move from Jimmie? My Friend moved to Vegas and he said he loves the suburb where he lives. He said because many work nights on the strip, many of them are in bed during the day, so it’s great for low traffic volume and his kids can play outside in the cul de sac all day and not be bothered by any passing cars or traffic passing through. Plus off his back yard is the desert to walk his dog. He installed a gate on his back fence, he just opens the gate and has hundreds of square miles of desert and hills to walk the dog!
@@matty6848 I moved here from Southern CA. And yes the suburbs are really nice & safe here. Yes there is some bad to avoid but I work a driving job so I've been ALL over probably every neighborhood & I would say it's an 80/20 split between good / bad. Nights are beautiful here especially in Fall & Winter. Being sourounded by mountains is always a perk too. Biggest downsides are that the schools/education suck out here so I wouldn't raise a family here. And the hustle & bustle life is so strong the hospitality business really runs everything out here. When covid hit I lost jobs. The job markets outside of hospitality aren't lucrative enough in my opinion. I am looking into CO, OR, TX, or NC in my future 👀.
@@jimmitheapache jimmy yes from Nartin Luther King and Lake Meade and add Binanza and Owens Ave over by Catholic Charities and The Salvation army is terrible. But East Las Vegas by Boulder Highway is bad as well.
Summerlin is great....I'd buy there if I were interested in moving to the general area.
Addition of the maps was a nice touch.
I'm afraid your idea of affordable is still high for a lot of us. What are the even more affordable, but less great cities you can find?
Right.
That's how it is these days sorry
@@NickJohnson Really? Not interested?
Hey Tom. Check out NC, around Charlotte, Raleigh. Southern PA around Hershey/Jim thorpe. Upper PA near poconos. Minneapolis, areas of WI. They're out there. Its always in flux though. Right now hot states are whats in so places like CO, Utah, AZ are all seeing big influx. Sucks.
@@tomunderwood238 nick is going strictly off data and the average home sales price. That within itself is complicated ex single family or townhouse. In O’fallon MO He said the average home sales price was $300k however you can buy a single family starter home $180-220k. It probably won’t be your dream home and will need updating but $180k is much better then $300k.
What city/state are you wanting to buy in?
Cincinnati is dirt cheap. You can get a decent house for $125,000. It's a 'troubled' place, but it's shockingly cheap. If I lost my job, I could live here for years without an income. I wouldn't have lasted more than a couple months without an income in Maryland/suburban DC.
Great video, very informative. Looking forward to more 2022 videos! Thanks Nick!
God I really hate this guy shitting on upstate all the time. I've been all over the country and upstate has some incredible places to live that are SUPER cheap. Yes upstate cities are not great, but many are just fine if you stay out of the rougher areas. Suburbs around the city of Syracuse for example are actually pretty nice with very affordable homes, literally 120-300k on average.
Exactly, Upstate NY deserves more love!
I am from Binghamton and left in 1985 to Richmond VA.Been in Raleigh NC since 1991.Raleigh is a top 10 city 28 years and will continue that way.
Where I live in upstate NY I would guess houses average under 100k 😂
I loved in upstate yes back. It's nice but there's no money up there.
@@dynodyno6970 if you live in the middle of one of upstates larger cities you're probably right
Thanks for sharing Nick! I enjoy the content and footage of your videos!
A list of the states rating the cheapest to most expensive property taxes. I find that qualifying for the mortgage is never the problem but when you factor the property taxes, it puts the home out of reach.
If you have a legitimate Loan Officer they should be stressing your payments for PITI Principal, Interest, Taxes, Insurance.
Here's the spreadsheet I used which has the whole list of each city along with the statistics and research for all of them! docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FiEBZccGW21fz05RDm8PIPNpf91lwimIA-GPA1e0Zic/edit?usp=sharing
Washington State was not included in this video.. But , why ?
( Sumner, Wa. resident )
Loving your new graphics, Nick!! Excellent video as always!
Haha thanks! ❤️
We need more affordable nice places that won't break the bank. Thanks for the suggestions.
Hi Nick! Great Video 👌
Very interesting I thought you might go through only a couple of States! And that was
Awesome that you got to cover each and everyone of them individually! Thanks Nick! For helping so many people who are most interested in moving elsewhere!
Ok!
You're awesome, Nick. Thank you.
Great stuff nick! Keeping it real!
🌟🌟🌟🌟You’re the best, Nick! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you a lot my friend, your tips really always help, GOD Bless you
Excellent video. I like that you are consulting!
Great video Mr.Johnson!
Interesting and valuable information ,thanks for sharing Nick n Sage 👍🇺🇲
Glad you enjoyed it Jeff
Great video Nick. I've gone from So Cal. to east Phoenix in 2002...place exploded then imploded, now exploding again. From AZ to Lynwood WA - super bad idea, got depressed without my sunshine, people avoid eye contact, but man the food was so good. Then to Nor Cal; an hour north of Sacramento in a little place called Colfax along I80. By far the best mix of mountain rural and close to amenities my family has experienced. 2018 moved to NW Boise...OMG its terrible how crowded it is here already. Forget the price of a house, never seen anything like how fast the costs went up. I do feel terrible for the locals, Treasure Valley is getting Californication. Another couple a years and I think the misses and me will be out by you! I apologize in advance! Lol. Love your videos.
wow, Spot on, thanks for the research
Thanks for sharing this info considering NC Raleigh next year
Did you really say “nappy” @18:23 instead of “mappy” for the other animation? I thought that’s what I heard and the closed captioning seems to confirm it. Really?
Lol I thought so too
Wow I wasn’t expecting Blacksburg! I live and work there and it’s definitely a fun place to live and incredibly peaceful during the summer when students leave lol
Agree!
Very informative video!
second video of yours i've watched and your music is outstanding.and nothing short of stellar!! i couldn't have come up with better lyrics myself. keep up the great work!! lol.
Gladstone. Missouri is also a gem. Just bought my for 152,000 15 min away from downtown KC
I lived near both State College and Dunedin. Both are nice, also getting more and more expensive. Bellefonte is an adorable little Victorian town just 8 miles from State College, and Tarpon Springs is a lot more pretty and quaint than the crowded Clearwater/Dunedin areas.
Thanks, Nick!
Great info
I grew up in Windsor, CO. It isn't cheap by any means to live there anymore. I remember when it was a 1 stop light town surrounded by agriculture.
Nick dumb question have you done one on disabled people where it is cheap,disabled friendly,size,temp,homes,transportation
Awesome. I love the humor you mix into your videos.
This was fascinating!!!
Minnesota lifer here, Plymouth is a very expensive souless yuppy hellscape. I'd recommend South St Paul, Inver Grove heights, Falcon Heights if you want city life. If you're ok with smaller city life consider: Fairmont, Mankato, St Peter & Owatonna. The area around Bemidji is good if you want hunting & fishing
Born in Mankato, Mom from Fairmont.
When I worked for an insurance Co many years ago I was surprised how they pronounced Peabody, when I had to call their home office, especially since my dog's name was also Peabody and we pronounced it the usual way (well to us anyway). Great video!
OMG! YOU MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD WHEN YOU SAID PRIVATE FOOTBALL LESSONS! YOU KILL ME! LOVE YOUR SHOW! IM FROM FORT WAYNE, INDIANA.
Hey!!! Peabody is my hometown!!! Thanks for the shoutout! I lived in southern Maine for my adult life, though. But Peabody really was a great city to grow up in! And only 20-30 min to Boston depending on traffic, also close to the commuter train in Salem next door or the subway 15 minutes away in Revere.
How I would explain Dunedin FL, is it's one of those lower-middle to middle class suburban areas that is being lifted up as the entire area is being lifted up. It's not a bad place by any means, it's just more humble than the surrounding areas that are more expensive. It's a wonderful area right next to the gulf of mexico, with a causeway that goes out to some islands with nice beaches. It's also only like 15min from the touristy clearwater beach if thats your thing. The north end of the county is really nice and safe and insulated from any bad areas. It's basically suburb in every direction for a long time.
Dunedin in beautiful!
@Trinidad Wayne I love Clearwater / CWB! 😊🌴☀️
= retirement community.
What are the prices like?
@@Declan_Payan ll
Daphne is a pretty cool little town. It's very close to Pensacola, Orange Beach, and Gulf Shores, and not far from Mobile. Biloxi is an easy day trip. The town has a good mix of old and new. Lots of stores have moved in recently. It's nice.
I actually live in Daphne, and I don't know when the last time you went there was, but it's not this nice anymore. Prices are continuously going up, traffic is getting continuously worse, and it's all because everybody from out of state is flocking here in hordes causing everything to get messed up. Kind of wish people would just stay where they are.
I love Fairhope, but Daphne is pretty cool too.
I’ve been watching your videos for a long time. I love them . Lol
Hey van ❤️
Thank you Nick for your vids
Would be nice to see and hear about best little towns or villages were you can get normal house for 150 or 200k(max).Prices in this video got high quckly, try setting max amount (same for all states) first and then look in each state for the best you can "offer" us, that would be very interesting and helpfull.
Yes it would
Great idea. He offers to help people find a spot. But I have asked like 4 times? I have changed my mind like 3 times..politics, taxes, weather n affordability n crime. These things need to be included!!
For 150-200k you're either getting a dump or somewhere way out in the middle of nowhere where most people don't want to live. Those prices are just not realistic anymore for any place that is desirable. It's not the 1980s or 90s anymore.
I really don't get the attraction of those cities in Nevada or Arizona, near identical houses all jammed right up against each other, all you can see for miles.
And running out of water
Basically no land just shoved in a neighborhood.
Many of us live in wide open desert areas. Miles of peace and quiet.
Nick Johnson…YOU are the ultimate! Calling you soon to set up a consult.
0:33 where is that?
Love the songs 🤣😂🤣 such a great songwriter you are!! lmao 😜
i can soon see a subscriber demand for a video on your Childhood bio, early influences & seeds of your current & hidden talents Nick !
I had my own TV channel in my hometown while in college then ran off to the midwest with a girl and then moved to north carolina and started a youtube channel. there.
Honestly, I'm going to look up some of these cities. I'm over the whole "need nightlife" thing and just want somewhere comfortable to be. A lot of these towns look cozy. Thanks, Nick.
Wow my cousin and his wife live in Kennewick Washington and love it. And I agree about Mauldin SC. I lived in Simpsonville next door and it was very nice
I lived in Rancho Sahuarita and loved it
Lots of Tucson PD officers lived there. Green Valley is awesome too
My girlfriend's twin sister lived in Green Valley. She loved it.
Used to live in Holly Springs NC, Fuquay-Varina NC, and went to school in Harnett County. It was a good place to grow up 20-15 years ago. I'm sure it's changed so much since I left it.
It has. Very expensive
Wow Middletown, CT I wasn’t expecting that!
I love your video ❤beautiful place ...have a nice day 👌😍😍
I lived in Corvallis for 2 years for work. Beautiful place. I lived in State College too, but stay away. That place is backwood…
I will never be able to have a house ever again
Aww why? 🏡
I agree with your picks for Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, and Tennessee.
Since you mentioned Sheridan, Wyoming, I checked the like button! I lived there years ago and loved it! People there are friendly!
Thanks for this. Can you share your entire list? I'm sure there are first and second runner ups for every state.
I honestly had never heard of Independence, Kentucky until this video, and I'm from this state. Living in the Lexington area is pretty affordable, especially compared to other parts of the country.
Independence is great because you are close to Cincinnati. Plus you have a great airport when you want to get away.
Tell me about Lexington?
@@DesertDweller74 what would you like to know? I'd be glad to tell you what I can about Lexington.
This is great!
From CT originally.
Middletown IS one of the most under appreciated small cities in the northeast.
Most residents are a nice mix of professionals and workers, with some artsy types who give it a fun vibe, and the Main Street-centered downtown is really well preserved and filled with restaurants and shops, and the nearby neighborhoods are very walkable.
It’s halfway between NYC and Boston, and Hartford and New Haven aren’t far away.
The city does need better and newer housing stock, especially town homes and condos, and the gateways into town are strip-mall ugly and needs better daily offerings like a Trader Joe’s and Target, but it’s really quite a great place overall.
You should do most liberal and conservative town in each state
Ok!
In a state like Washington, you’ll have a lot of far left people around the Seattle area, but in the eastern half outside of Spokane, you have a lot of people just a step up from being KKK members
Boring
People will be extremely shocked to find any cities in Commiefornia on such a list! But they're there. I was a lifelong Californian until we escaped to America. Go north, and you'll think you're in either Nebraska or Montana. My pick is somewhere in Modoc County, which has always blown off the Fascist C19 mandates of Gov. Gruesome and is therefore the healthiest place in the state.
@@nemo2327 did i ask for your opinion conservative
HA! Peabody… I grew up there. The fact that you said it correctly is staggering since most people outside MA say it totally wrong. (I still think you should have done a video of downtown Lynn at night…)
Lol Nick still waiting for your Vegas residency. Thanks for the content buddy!
I also lived in Cranston once. I actually moved to Florida from RI where I lived for about a decade! I was born in New London CT, as I've mentioned before.
i wish you'd make videos like these but for rentals rather than purchasing homes
Fair Lawn, N J, where Maxell USA (man in chair!) was headquartered at (least at) one point (before that it was in Moonachie).
I have relatives in Fairborn, O H, another Dayton suburb that is decent and affordable. I understand you had to pick one, though.
Spend the night in Montpelier or Burlington when you take the Amtrak Vermonter train up there especially this time of year, you will not regret it.
And Queen Elizabeth II visited Sheridan, W Y in the 1980s, so that is neat.
Thanks!
Thanks for the upload Nick. Greetings from Greece. I'm planning to visit USA next year. Not sure when and where yet. Where do you think is easier to get a job being foreign? I ve been in NYC once and I loved it !
Wasn't expecting to hear Park Ridge mentioned. I grew up there and it was a great place to live minus the constant passing of planes overhead (it's within the vicinity of O'Hare Airport). The uptown and downtown areas are super chill though. I'm glad to have gotten out of Illinois but I still have a soft spot for PR.
I was expecting Naperville or Palatine.
yet another Fabulous song from da Maestro !!
Love SGC!!! You made My day 💕 ❤ 💛 💙 💗 💓
I know he's your fave.
@@NickJohnson He sure is but I Love all of them. If You ever have A SGC t-shirt I would buy
Love the vids ❤
Very good list as a traveler! For Illinois, check out Western Springs and or LaGrange. Park Ridge is in direct flight paths into o'hare. WS and LG are between O'Hare and Midway, very reasonably priced homes and very safe neighborhoods.
I agree with your LaGrange or Western Springs call, if you want to be in Cook county. I grew up in PR and it was a tad loud. If I still lived in Chicagoland, I would live in McHenry County.That’s my view though.
@@robertlee6781 McHenry doesn’t count as Chicagoland, let’s be honest. You’re in Wisconsin at that point.
The POLLUTION from AIRPORTS IS 👎🏽
Finally a positive video
Oh and your song on Indiana is so true! You could tell you were holding back from laughing when you said " AND WE CAN PICK MUSHROOMS TOGETHER, GO TO CHURCH TOGETHER " SO FUNNY! BEST OF ALL YOUR SONGS AND THE MUSHROOMS ARE LIKE GOLD TO US! I DID VENTURED ON SOME DUDES PROPERTY AND HE CAME OUT OF NOWHERE ON HIS 4 WHEELER, LOL! NO HUNTING SHRUMS THERE, LOL.
excellent video
Middletown CT!!?? It used to be an armpit. Dunedin FL...hmmm not far from where I'd like to be... So far a great presentation... Thanks Nick!!
Edit: Holy Cow!! Montpelier VT! I haven't been there since I was a kid but it was always excellent!
Lived in Corvallis, OR for 5 years after living in Happy Valley, OR my whole life. I loved being out of the way of the Portland and Eugene mess, but being able to drive there to do things when I wanted. Great recommendation, Nick!
Yes but it and all the areas surrounding there are now too expensive for the average jo...sadly most of the state is
The whole state has gotten very expensive, even areas that shouldn’t be.
Love your video
cool!
Nick as usual you crack me up 😆
Sahuarita prices are skyrocketing. I moved here a few years ago and most new build houses were going for 225k ish. Now, like you said, it's up over 300k, just four years later.
Royal Oak is actually a pretty good place. I would live there.
Thank u so much, Sir!!! When u have a chance, if possible talk about North Carolina, if they have nice cheaper city? Thank u!
This is really cool. I doubt I'll move to Fair Lawn here in Jersey, but it's good to see options here in the States
I'm surprised to see Lafayette, Louisiana on this list, lol. It's start to get lil better out here. I thought Youngville would've take that. Also, I had been out for awhile, Nick. When you got time. There's a chance you can make a video about which states taxes is the lowest? Thank you, Nick!
Louisiana is slow and corny. Don't come to Florida
Lafayette is plagued with problems. Change is slow and fought every step of the way. They still can`t ( or won`t ) figure out how to get I-49 through the city. It took them 30 years to build a bridge, and then when they did build it, it was only because of a new upscale neighborhood. They build new upscale parks and repair roads in the well-to-do areas. Some roads are barely passable but the ones that are fixed are just in the newer upscale areas. That is how it was done in the past. There is even a saying about change ; " Don`t rock the boat, or you will end up gator bait !!"
@@lividnine699 I already been to Florida, lol.
@@Imhim247 facts lol
@@xlr8nguy I don't live in Lafayette. That's why I am surprise to see it made on the list, lol. I know they try to rebuild themselves out there.
I didn't see Portland, Oregon??! 🤣
You're so cheesey, dude. I love it.
Nick, your channel has inspired me to think about moving 🤔
Redlands, California? Thanks to Los Angeles and San Fransisco moving here, it's really difficult finding anything affordable. Good luck paying $4,500 plus a month for a family sized apartment.
I am still waiting for my Mappy T-Shirt. Maybe it's on one of those tankers off the coast of California.
Got 5 minutes later, yeah Mappy!
Really??? They usually come in 5 days
Oh nice!
Hey nick love your videos I really enjoyed them. They very helpful. But the ⚫ map that doesn't like learning.
Hey i grew up in Woodstock, used to live in downtown before it was gentrified. Most people are moving out to Dallas, GA as so many have been priced out of Woodstock, Kennesaw, Marietta, and Cobb county on the whole.
