We are considering the Leo-Cedarville area but as people of color we do have our concerns. Currently, we are just west of Chicago and want a slower pace. Our plan is to retire within the next two to three years and we will continue to consider the FW area. Though the cost of living has gone up it is still significantly lower than the Chicago area, so we shall see what happens.

@@terence4427 Builders have cut down on building new homes with basement because it drives up construction costs. There are still some, when they are available, they go very quickly.

I was born and raised in Fort Wayne. It is a great city but is going in the wrong direction. The powers that be are trying to turn downtown into a mini New York City. It failed in Des Moines Iowa and in South Bend Indiana. Also our roads are absolutely horrible. I've been to 3rd world countries with better Street. Politicians sit back and blame our Winters, like bad winters just started. Nothing but poor excuses and no planning. They've received tons of money for all these downtown projects and the failing Electric works and have let the roads go to pot. We have almost 90 parks in Fort Wayne and many have very little usage. A study needs to be made on usage and close those under used. The politicians love to Annex Land from the county raise the taxes through the roof and then loot that money away from those neighborhoods into their pet projects. While the neighborhoods deteriorate.

Indiana is a relatively cheap and easy place to live. Not too crowded. If you're looking for great scenery, you'll need to get on a plane. The people are nice, but they wear their politics on their sleeves, like all "conservatives" are trained to do. It's often when you first meet them, it's always negative and it comes with a smug head bob pushing for your agreement. But then that's true in all red states. Just befriend people who think rationally or at least know to keep their mouths shut. On the plus side, unlike the south, they don't wear their religion on their sleeves. The relentless, high-pressure tactics down there are exhausting. Win some, lose some.

As a builder and real estate investor living here for 14 years. Every week people contact me about building a barndominium, and every conversation begins with, “if you don’t own land, do not buy it in Allen County, move to a different county if you can”. The dirty secret is every building contractor charges customers more money to do the job in this county due to planning and zoning and the building department.

@@barnandhome It’s funny you mentioned that. One of our clients, who moved here from Georgia, mentioned that the expenses that builders incurs from the development of land (all the things) are eventually paid by the end buyer. Like more so than normal. It’s hard to explain through text but essentially the cost of the land isn’t really that much it’s the development of it. Apparently it’s not exactly as the same in other states. So that part must be true
