Absurdly high taxes (my parents pay half my tax on a non-rural property twice as big about 120 miles north of me), but still, owning a home is hardly a fiscally ruinous proposition around here.
My property taxes this year were ~$4200 on an average sized lot and home, or roughly $350/month.
My last apartment cost $1050/month for a small two bedroom condo rental.
