The Cheapest Places to Buy an Acre of Land in the US
People buy land for a variety of reasons, including as an investment or (eventually) to build a house. And, like everything else right now, cost is a major factor for those who determine where to buy land, or whether they can afford it in the first place.
Of course, not all land is the same, and the price of an acre (or five) depends on a variety of factors, including zoning, proximity to a city or town, and topography. This usually means that the cheapest land available (at least in the United States) is unconnected and often has no road access.
With that in mind, here are some of the cheapest places in the US to buy land .
