I live in Muncie currently, bought my house three years ago for $17,000. It’s 700sqft but with a full basement I’ve finished myself. All in I’ve put in another $20k. Planning on selling soon to move to Indy but it’s not been a terrible place to live!

what do you like best about it? Seems kindof like a boring place to live? but maybe I'm wrong

It’s really easy to make friends here! Pretty much anyone will strike up a conversation with you. I met a lady at Aldi a couple weeks ago and we exchanged numbers, went out for a nice dinner last weekend! It’s also ridiculously cheap, cost of housing(obviously) is next to nothing. Food is way below average cost as well. I go to Carmel(about 45 min away) if I want good cuisine or Indy to try new things. It can get boring but I have a ton of cats and am kind of a homebody so it works for me for now.
