  5.  @wrestlerx8494  I live out in AZ, and prices have really come up, especially near the Phoenix area. I had an old friend who lives around the Hagerstown area, and the last I checked, the houses there were cheap relative to the rest of Maryland. Not too sure if that is too remote, because it is in the panhandle part of the state. It has been years since I have been to Maryland, and I have traveled all over the state, but looking at the prices anywhere near the DC area, would blow the average person’s mind. My friend seemed to like it in Hagerstown, and I have been near there in the past, especially around the tri-state area, but I would assume it has gone up too, due to DC pricing people out. He actually made the drive to suburban DC each day for work. The trees, water, and the mountain ranges in that part of the state were very nice IMO.

  6.  @audisnewbeginning8616  Sorry this was meant for Wrestler X, but it could interest you. Although I have lived in Arizona for over a decade, my wife’s family lives in southwestern Iowa. After living in the Omaha area for about 15 years prior (I also used to own a house in Bennington about 15 miles northwest of downtown Omaha, where one would be unable to buy anything for less than 400 k nowadays, and the property taxes that come with it, would be through the roof, no pun intended) However, if you were to consider Iowa, we’re the taxes are much lower relative to NE, then I would recommend towns like Carson, Avoca, Shelby, Mondamin, Elk Horn, Treynor, and Logan. Each of those towns are safe and are all under an hour from Omaha. The nearby Loess hills makes some of those towns quite scenic, especially Mondamin. The landscape including the farms is quite nice. There is a region called the Loess Hills scenic byway. Check out the pictures. My absolute favorite area in Iowa is Dubuque along the Mississippi River all the way to the MN line. You will seriously think you are not in Iowa, because the far Northeast region is forested, and resembles an Eastern deciduous forest with hills overlooking the River. It is like that throughout eastern MN as well. The former area I had mentioned would be easier to secure a non remote work venue. Not too familiar with Des Moines, other than the State fair, but it does have a solid economy, and housing near the city limits, whether east, west, north, or south, can be easily accessed by either interstate 80 (East to West) or Interstate 35 (North to South) If you get a chance, visit Des Moines and head west to the Omaha area.

  7.  @wrestlerx8494  Also read my description that I sent to Audi’s New Beginning regarding IA. It was meant for you, because I am very familiar with that region, and I am also noticing that things are competitive out there too, but not like MD. Caution: Omaha, Bennington, Papillon, Bellevue and Gretna NE all have huge property taxes and new construction is rampant out there. Iowa is less on property taxes, but you may have to be at least 40 minutes from Omaha proper to get a 200 k to 250 k house, but it will be unlike MD or DC style driving. Check out areas around 29 to the east, because you do not want to go west, because if you look at ariel pics of the 2011 Missouri River flood, you will see why. 20 years ago, I would have said Glenwood, IA, but even if a house came up out there nowadays, then it it would be off the market in a day. Otherwise they are building huge custom homes out there, because of the proximity to Omaha (30 minutes, easy drive) Maybe check out Red Oak, IA, it is not the greatest, and it used to get a bad rap, but I predict that housing will appreciate there, and there are still move in ready houses there for a fraction of what you would get in MD, sans the NE taxes. No I am not a realtor 😂, I am happy enough in Arizona, but sometimes I have a water addiction while living here.
