If you’re an outdoors enthusiast, you may want to take note. These beautiful places offer a variety of breathtaking draws — magnificent vistas, seaside living, rolling hills and plenty of outdoor spaces to explore. Interest piqued? It should be. Because the icing on the cake is that you can find affordable housing in some of the nation’s most stunning outdoor meccas. Let’s take a look.
Methodology
To determine the most affordable outdoor meccas you can move to, 24/7 Tempo reviewed five-year data on median household value and median household income from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2022 American Community Survey . Cities, towns, and Census-designated places were ranked based on the ratio of median home value to median household income. Only places with at least 500 residents ranking at least a 6 on the USDA’s Natural Amenities Scale where at least 20% of housing units are vacant for seasonal or recreational use were considered.
