Outside of the hurricane that is about to hit CA, the coastal areas are nice, nice and pricey, but nice. I know few think about Detroit, MI, but housing in the burbs of the arm pit of Michigan is fairly reasonable. If willing to move into the arm pit itself, well the prices are down right cheap! Detroit has an active CV scene, a velodrome, and a few good bike shops.
Access to fresh water lakes is readily available, and there is good fishing in those lakes and accompanying rivers.
