Yep, this is basically why I still live in Kansas. Flyover land is fucking cheap.

We've got a roughly 1100 sqft apartment, built around 2000, for $750 after pet rent.

My neighbors keep remarking on how expensive it is compared to the rest of the rental market here.

Multiple local roasters in town. Two brewpubs, soon to be three. Three farmers markets.

And we're able to live working part time so we have the time to enjoy the above.

We'll probably buy a home here, but I want to travel to a few places first. See if there isn't a part of the country I'll fall in love with before I take on a mortgage.
