10. Grand Forks, North Dakota

  • Average 1-bedroom rent (2022): $685
  • Cost of living index: 88.2
  • Livability score: 74

If you’re looking for cheap rent, then you should consider relocating there. If you’re living on just a monthly Social Security check, then you must relocate here immediately!

No other city can brag about lower housing costs than Grand Forks, which has an average rent price under $700. Despite its high cost of living, its remarkably-low rent gives you the No. 3 spot of the highest quality of life on this ranking.

Are you considering claiming your Social Security checks earlier? Here are the reasons why you should do that!

    Well, as I see it, retirement and cold, lousy weather usually don’t go well together. However, if you don’t have a choice…then we might have made better retirement plans before we had no choice.

    You do not mention anything about utilities. North Dakota gets very cold in the winter. What are the cost of utilities in this town during winter. Can a person on SSI still be able to live afford to there?

    OK, but who wants to live in Kansas or North Dakota?? Fishing and canoeing in Williston, ND? What, for maybe 4 months of the year?
