Wow, that’s amazing and I’m happy to know there are still places where frum people can have the infrastructure they need and still live a solidly middle class life. Denver has way less frum Infrastructure than Cleveland and our crazy housing market has inhibited our growth as a great OOT option. A few families have even left here (can’t imagine the price difference from NY) for Cleveland, Dallas and Cincinnati (Cincinnati was for a of number specific Klei Kodesh jobs) and all seem to be happy with the easier, lower cost of life.
Dallas is not so affordable these days. Taxes are obviously lower (as are wages by and large--so it might work out to be a wash), but home prices for a 3+ BR in the eruv (North eruv, which is cheaper than South eruv) still crest around +/- 400k. In Bergen county where we are now, thdy are only 20% higher in my estimation. While lots are bigger, houses tend to be single story, so the sqf on the homes are comparable to NJ.
My SIL moved to Dallas 2-3 years ago and has been trying to convince us to move but in the long run, we would barely pay less than Bergen County that it's worth it to move right now, given the other trade-offs/expenses involved.
