8 mid-sized cities where a $3,000 pension goes twice as far

8 mid-sized cities where a $3,000 pension goes twice as far 3. Huntsville, Alabama - Rocket City with Rock-Bottom Costs ©Wikimedia Tucked away in the hills of northern Alabama, Huntsville is a frequent flyer on affordability lists for its competitive housing costs and high quality of life, ranking number two for value overall. There's something quietly remarkable about a city that houses NASA engineers and retirees under the same very affordable roof. It's an unusual and energizing mix. Alabama has a cost of living index of 87.9, the third-lowest in the country, with the second-lowest housing costs across all states and the average single-family house selling for just $170,184.

Alabama also has especially attractive tax policies, including no income taxes on retirement income from government pensions or 401(k) plans. Reference: www.ms...

We got ahead of ourselves. ...“Huntsville is currently overbuilt with apartments, and until that excess supply is absorbed, we’re going to see a slowdown in new multifamily construction,” Realtor Matt Curtis added. “ We’re seeing the effects of oversupply — one to two months of free rent incentives, declining rents, and higher vacancy rates. That’s not a climate where developers are eager to build. ...“Occupancies are down, values are down, expenses are up,” Wilson said ” Reference: www.al.com
