Affordable areas near Okemos?

I'm retired and Poverty rate is 5.2%, which is pretty low. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Am I wrong here? Appreciate any input. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.

I work in marketing here and there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The job market for my field is improving. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
