Life expenses in usa!!!

Hello all
Iam wondering about life and accommodation expenses in usa ? and which states is better for settle and having a house as a after retirement s relaxation...
  Thank you

it would be helpful if you specify what kind of environment you want. You can buy houses in Detroit for the price of a month's rent in San Francisco. Do you want a house, an apartment, warm climate, cold climate, rural, urban?

Thanks for replying ECS
I prefer a house with parking place than apt even a small house,  and of course not in urban it'd be nice to locate near coast or in coastal city where I can find a good neighborhood.
Thanks

I don't see how anyone can answer these questions.
