First is housing prices in general. You can own much more land without living 1 hour away from city center in these areas.

Second, despite being smaller nearby semi large cities has access to almost all the same services and entertainment.

Also most of these cities are not very far from eachother, and connected by railroads, bus network and highways directly.

Despite being much smaller the towns has been constantly growing and is still expected to grow for the foreseeable future, so you may not have to worry about the local economy too much.

Also these towns has so much better local nature to enjoy, surrounding by multiple lakes, rivers and large regulated forest you wont get to enjoy nearly as much in more overdeveloped areas elsewhere. :P
