Klipinger.com just released their ranking of the top 10 least expensive cities to live in.  They compiled their rankings based on the ACCRA Cost of Living Index produced by the Council for Community and Economic Research. The Index measures relative price levels for housing, utilities, transportation, grocery items, health care and miscellaneous goods and services (it does not include taxes).  So their research covers all aspects of life.  Here are the two cities in Texas that made the list:

3. Harlingen- It is the southernmost city in Texas.  The cost of housing is below the national average.  Harlingen is a popular destination for retirees on a fixed income

4. McAllen- Is located 50 miles from Harlingen and is has many of the benefits, such as a low cost of housing. 

It was great to see two cities in Texas, make this list.  Both of these cities are great places to buy a home.
