Re: Wichita, Kansas
 

West/Northern Illinois is really building now,and has some of the best Land/Home values at a decent price.
It also has access to nearly everything the surrounding Midwest has to offer within a short driving distance.(Albeit a toll is required)
Just a thought..

Norm, How about the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia. Very, very nice with great weather and good housing and prices. Take a ride down 81 out of Carlisle. Beautiful!!! If I didn't have all my kids around here I would be thinking that area.

Re: Wichita, Kansas
 

Norm, I've been building, new homes in KS for 20+ yrs now, around 220 the last time I thought to count them all up. Your friend is correct regarding the cost of living and home prices. Even with the run-up in real estate values over the past several years, nice homes are cheap in the midwest. Wichita KS, Tulsa OK, Springfield MO, that whole area is pretty neat. I build in NE Oklahoma and SE Kansas for the most part. Nice 3 bed, 2 bath, 2 car garage homes on full basements are plentiful in the 130K and up range. I hang out with 2 FAST racing buddies who live in Erdenheim and Oreland PA. It's a neat place, but definitely crowded.

PS Don't worry about tornadoes either, a warning siren will always sound just about 10 minutes after a twister hits. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

If I'm not mistaken, a few years ago Springfield, MO, was the fastest growing city in the US...my daughter, and lots of other family live there, so we're there a lot, and it's growing like crazy to the south towards Branson, MO, which is within 1/2 hour or so....hey Norm, you like country music shows and crafts? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Springfield, Nixa, Ozark, down to Branson and Harrison, AR, to the south...as well as west along I-44 towards Joplin, MO...

Re: Wichita, Kansas
 

Norm, checkout central Illinois. Rated as one of the lowest cost of living areas in the country. Within a easy days drive of Chicago, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Detroit, Kansas City, Louisville, Memphis, Miwaukee, Des Moines. Springfield, my home, is fast becoming a major medical research and treatment area. Very reasonable housing cost and lots of homes available. Come on out and I'll show you around.
