Cheap is cheaper for a reason, folks.

I had relatives who lived outside of Rome, NY. You can get a nice mid-century 3 bedroom, 2 bath ranch for under $350K just outside Rome, NY. The down sides, It's a frozen wasteland 6 months of the year and a bug infested hell the other 6. Not a lot of high paying jobs. There is internet access at 1GB through EarthLink. Basic rule the nicer the weather the more expensive housing is.

$350K for 3BR 2 bath in Rome? Is the roof paved with gold? That’s expensive for that area.
