Everything is relative, but the cheapest in the US which fits those parameters, as a couple have said, must be the mid-West.

Around here (SE Kansas) for example, good 4-5 bedroom houses go for $400-$600 a month and at least by US standards the schools are reasonable (one in particular). You can live on a decent sized plot in town or get a few acres in the country.

In terms of entertainment, dining, etc it's a million miles away from city life, but that is seen as a bonus by some. If small-small-town life isn't for you, there are larger places where rent may go up to around $1,000.

Distances between one place and the next can be pretty big, but in driving-time terms, since there is no traffic congestion, the gap narrows.
