Where

Where would a group of New Yorkers want to move in order to start a new community? I've heard various ideas ranging from the Monsey area to Long Island to New Jersey and Pennsylvania. I'm thinking about a little bit more out than that.
While I don't know where exactly I want to move, I do know that there is no reason that a house should cost me more than $300,000-$350,000. There are thousands of beautiful houses across the United States that can be had for as little as $200,000 for a 4 bedroom. Now, that's where I want to be. Obviously salaries in those areas will be much less compared to a New York salary, but the ratio of salary to cost of house is much much lower out there.
Of course there is the whole problem of not being like the people around you. Can a New Yorker even live a "normal" life if it's not in an active town/city?! Yes! The idea, as I've stated before, is to get a bunch of people interested in this. If 25-30 families picked up and went, it would be a lot easier for everyone involved. The question still remains; Where?
