Being from Arkansas, I always thought our housing prices were crazy low. When I was in university there, I paid something like $450/mo for a two bedroom, 1000 square foot (92 square meters) apartment.
Then I moved to Seattle and pay 6x as much per square foot. That's to be expected, I guess. Seattle is much more desirable than Arkansas.
- NDizzle 11y agoI am also from Arkansas! I am planning on moving back in the next few years as my remote work jobs solidify. Information like this really hammers that point home. If you have family/friends in Arkansas, it's a cheap way to live with a fairly reasonable quality of life - at least the NW corner where I grew up.
- gamegoblin 11y agoThe NW corner is where my apartment was (Fayetteville, University of Arkansas). Central Arkansas is more expensive, but still extremely affordable compared to the rest of the country. My sister just bought a 3 bedroom house in a good neighborhood in Little Rock for < $150K. It would easily cost $600K+ here in Seattle.
