Unlike many other cities, it seems college grads can afford to live in Ann Arbor without being packed into apartments four-deep. Ann Arbor makes another nation's top 10 list, this time getting the shout-out for its reasonable cost of living.
Excerpt:
"Luxury high-rises are
sprouting up like weeds in downtown Ann Arbor, so it may come as a surprise to some that the city is apparently one of the cheapest places in America to move after college.
Appearing on yet another “top 10” list, Ann Arbor came in at No. 8 on
Complex’s guide for thrifty recent college graduates which was headlined by No. 1 Spokane, Wash.
According to the pop-culture website, typical monthly rent for one bedroom outside of the “city center” costs about $600. The costs for utilities, public transportation and “annual income needed for a living wage before taxes” (estimated at $19,738 for Ann Arbor) were also factored into the decision process."
