Located a little over an hour north of Birmingham and nestled in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains, Haleyville has a small-town feel. Just under 4% of its residents work from home, so remote workers are something of an anomaly, but the low cost of living is worth it. For those craving a lively music scene, the city is under an hour away from Muscle Shoals, which is located along the Tennessee River and known for its music community. The median home price is extraordinarily low, at $69,300.
