Posted July 16, 200717 yr http://finance.yahoo.com/real-estate/article/103226/Most-Affordable-Towns Looking for an affordable place to own a home? Think Garfield Heights, Ohio, or Penn Hills, Pennsylvania, or any number of the townships and communities clustered predominantly in America's industrial heartland. Nine of the 25 in the list can be found in Ohio alone.
July 16, 200717 yr "$200 million CitiView Center, a mega-complex" Oh good lord... and Boardman is many things, but charming and being known for farming is not one of them - it's a sprawleriffic edge city, with Route 224 as its autocentric clusterf#ck of a main artery. What idiots write this sh!t? clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
July 16, 200717 yr I really don't see this as a good list to be on. It seems to consist of mostly rust belt cities suburbia. It tells me that property values aren't increasing due to stagnant growth.
July 16, 200717 yr I was trying to research here on UO, now my memory isn't that great, but isn't this recent rehashed information? I think MayDay, Musky or MapBoy pointed out the same thing, earlier. humm. :|
July 16, 200717 yr Possibly but the article is dated today: by Jeff Cox Monday, July 16, 2007 If its on Yahoo it could be recycled from another media source like the AP. I just feel like we discussed this already or am I losing last few functioning pieces of my mind?
July 16, 200717 yr I found lots of "most affordable cities" threads on the search function but no "most affordable towns." Maybe thats what you are remembering.
July 16, 200717 yr Northbrook, Ohio Median family income: $59,902 Median home price (2006): $83,760 This sleepy Cincinnati suburb has more than 11,000 people and some of the best housing buys in a region known for affordable places to live. Residents say they like the low-key living there, aided by a high percentage of home ownership. Northbrook is one of many Ohio communities benefiting from an influx of out-of-state buyers looking for investment properties. Prices, however, remain reasonable and the community has managed to maintain its character. Is it strange that I've never heard of this place before...I guess it really is "sleepy."
July 17, 200717 yr I really loathe these "best cities" lists by Money, Forbes and the rest of their ilk. The lists by Places Rated Almanac and The Economist are one thing... but Money and Forbes value lowest-common-denominator sprawlburbia over all else. To them... "sleepy" is a prized attribute.

July 17, 200717 yr I'm with you C-Dawg about Boardman. I loath driving out there. And 224 is HORRIBLE. It reminds me at times of Colerain Ave around NG Mall.
