Coldwell Banker's rankings put Arlington as the only Texas town in the top 10 for most affordable homes in the United States.
The rankings make an "apples-to-apples" comparison between four-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath homes across the nation.
Grayling, Mich., took the top spot with an average 2009 sales price of $112,675. Arlington placed sixth with an average 2009 sales price of $138,775.

Overall, the study concluded consumers can buy a 2,200-square-foot, four-bedroom home for less than $200,000 in more than 80 U.S. markets, including Arlington.
