According to the Kansas Regional Center, some of the most important factors in choosing a place to live is lifestyle, safety and ease of finding jobs. "You're looking for a place with a low cost of living, nationally ranked schools and picture-perfect communities. But you also want a place with world-class dining, great nightlife and wide-open spaces for outdoor adventure. It isn't always easy to find that combination. But that's exactly what you get in Kansas. In Kansas, we don't just live life. We live life to the fullest. We're big on business and economic development, but we know how to relax and have a good time, too. We're balancing work and play, progress and history, urban and rural to create a quality of life you can't find anywhere else. And that's what makes this place so special. The cost of living in Kansas is nearly 8.7 percent below the national average, making our state among the most affordable in the nation. From food and gasoline to property taxes and car insurance, most of what you need costs less here. Housing costs are especially low, with the median value of owner-occupied homes nearly 35 percent below the national average. In fact, Kansas is ranked among the most affordable places in the country for buying a home. The bottom line is this - your dollar goes further here."
