The house that I live in San Antonio in the same type of socio-economic area would go for 1/2 million in Dallas. Same state. It ridiculous. The house is valued at 145,000 in San Antonio.
So I guess like Z said. If you can get a nice paying job (which I dont), in an area where the cost of living is low and you like (which I do), everything works out nicely.
