America's cheapest (livable) cities

These 10 places combine low housing prices, a reasonable cost of living and high quality of life.
Living the dream

As American workers cope with a tough job market and sluggish economy, many may be considering moving to a city where their money can go further. Moving from a big city to a small but thriving locale like Sioux Falls, S.D., may not be for everybody, but for some people the tradeoff will be worthwhile.
"People who have a preference for living in these cities have a lot more time for families, personal recreation and civic activities," says Mark Schill, vice president for research at economic development firm Praxis Strategy Group, which studied some thriving hubs in its new "Enterprising Cities" report. Here is a sampling of 10 cities where you can slash your overhead while enjoying a great quality of life.
Idaho Falls, Idaho

Median home price: $52,799
Cost of living: 90.2% of national average

Named to National Geographic's list of the "100 Best Adventure Towns," this small city of nearly 58,000 people offers lots of outdoor recreation in a family-friendly atmosphere where, according to the Council for Community and Economic Research, the cost of living is only 90.2% of the national average for urban areas. The median home cost is $52,799, compared with $153,800 for the United States, according to Sperling's Best Places.
On the weekends, residents can enjoy nearby Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, world-class fishing on the Snake River, historic exhibits at the Museum of Idaho, and live music at Colonial Theater and Civic Auditorium. Just be prepared to make less than you would in a major city. The average hourly wage in Idaho Falls was $17.15 in May 2012, 22% lower than the U.S. average, according to the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
