Settling down to a desirable spot that you can call home means something different to many people today than it did a few years ago.  Americans once flocked to Sun Belt and coastal cities like Vegas and Orlando where they could easily buy homes in areas where home values were expected to noticeably appreciate.  However, nowadays, most Americans are seeking solid housing markets, desirable cost of living, stable employment and quick commutes in the community they call home.  Forbes Magazine has recently released a new list of America's most affordable cities to live.

They compiled the list from cities that offer the most bang for your buck by looking at America's 100 largest metro cities and measuring important statistics such as foreclosures, vacancies, unemployment rates, a three year home-price forecast, median commute time and median real estate taxes. 

Omaha, NE topped the list with the biggest bang for the buck city and was joined by several other Great Plains metro cities, one of which we proudly serve.  Below, we have listed 20 of America's most affordable cities to call home.
