Coldwell Banker Real Estate recently published their annual study of college town real estate markets.  This study was predicated on similar four bedroom, 2.5 bath homes in each evaluated market.  Considering that housing costs are the single largest indicator of cost of living for an area, this study provides the ability to indentify those college towns which have the most affordable cost living.  This is very useful information if the University of Michigan and UCLA both provide the course of study you are looking for.  Michigan is in one of the top 10 most affordable areas, while UCLA is in the top 10 least affordable areas.  The bottom line costs of living in these areas will be dramatic.

Check out the most affordable and least affordable top 10’s below.
