Thanks!

You could try this site:

Although it doesn't have every city...

The Homefair website is very accurate to different cities within a state. It also allows you to choose your salary to determine your standard of living. Good Luck!

Wonderful thread - thanks for everyone who responded and if you know of any additional resources, let us know!! I'm particularly interested in school system for my kids... I'm hoping I find this info on those posted websites.

When I was looking for a place in Philly, I was told that Philly was the second cheapest place of any major urban centre in the United States for real estate next to Buffalo, NY. And its totally true, as I bought a 900 sq ft. condo for only $50,000.

Wow thats dirt cheap! Think you will make a nice return on it when you sell or are you planning on hanging onto it (might be more profitable to rent out).
