10 Most Affordable Cities In America

3) Lincoln, NE

In 2000, Lincoln was one of those quiet Midwestern cities that the coasts like to call a “Fly-by City”. However, in recent years the median income has seemingly caught up with house prices rising, however not as quickly as the income. Affordable living is almost an understatement as a one-bedroom apartment will likely only cost you $300 a month.

The city’s pride and joy, The University of Nebraska Cornhuskers, is certainly the talk of the town. However, Lincoln offers so much more. Lincoln hosts a surprising number of artists who display their work throughout the city’s local venues, bars and coffee shops. There is also the Sheldon Museum of Art and International Quilt Study and Museum.

With unemployment around 3.6%, which essentially means there are more jobs than people available, Lincoln is the place to go if you are say a single man or woman. Why do I mention this? Lincoln is listed as one of the top three cities in the country for well paid single men and women. If you’re looking for love, comfort and a nice paying job, you may just want to consider Lincoln.
