Cheapest neighborhoods in Vernon?

Average temperature is around 63--F, so the weather is moderate. Rent is about $870/month for a decent place. The city has invested a lot in new development. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. What neighborhoods would you suggest? Thanks! The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus...
