Affordable areas near Cedar Rapids?

Hello, Born and raised here. Poverty rate is 7.1%, which is pretty low. Crime rate is something to consider — Cedar Rapids sits at 257.5 per 100K. With a population of 137K, Cedar Rapids is a mid-size city. Average temperature is around 53°F, so expect cold winters. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Does this match your experience? Thanks for reading. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.

Hot take but I love the pace of life here. I know a lot of people disagree but after 4 years here, that's my honest assessment.
