2 . Recent years saw a great number of people living in cities fleeing from crowded apartments for wide-open spaces. Escaping the cold was the excuse for some, while most others chased a cheaper cost of living. Here are the best cities for lowering your cost of living without sacrificing lifestyle in the future.

Nashville, TN

People will not be disappointed with Nashville’s nightlife and the bar scenes; the town is home to many creative transplants from faraway places as well, making finding new friends an exciting possibility. While the city’s cooking scene is most known for barbecue, Nashville also boasts restaurants such as Graze, Wild Cow, and Vegelicious, with tons of plant-based plates you won’t want to miss.

Annapolis, MD

If you thought Miami was the sailing capital of the United States, you guessed wrong! That title goes to a little town on the Chesapeake Bay that has lots of history and charm too. The home of the U. S. Naval Academy has some of the best seafood on the eastern seaboard; the crab cakes along City Dock have a reputation across the stale.

Milwaukee, WI

If you have your heart set on Chicago, consider the cheaper Milwaukee instead. You can live closer to the shore for half of Chicago — and you’ll certainly still get those white Christmases, assuming that it’s not the snow you’ re running from.

Las Vegas, NV

Hear us out. Average rent for a two-bedroom apartment is around $1,250 per month, with a luxury spot coming in around $3,000 per month. Moreover, Vegas has over 300 days of sunny weather. And with easy access to 10 Michlin-starred restaurants and world-class shows, you might come for the savings — but you’ll stay for the rich lifestyle.
