You may have seen our coverage of the most expensive place to live in North Carolina, but what about the cities that are a little easier on the wallet?

Property Club looked at the affordable cities in North Carolina, a state the site says is a "wonderful place to live" with "a mild climate, friendly atmosphere, stunning beaches, and beautiful views of the Blue Ridge Mountains," and compiled a list of the cheapest places in the state to call home.

According to the site, the cheapest place to live in North Carolina is Hamlet, a small city in the south central region of the state with a population around 6,000. The median home price is $106,615 and the average rent is $495. Here's what the site had to say:

"Located roughly 45 minutes from Fort Bragg, this small town is great for retirees and anyone interested in a slow-paced lifestyle. While it lacks the amenities of the big city, Hamlet is central to some of North Carolina's best beaches and mountain ranges, making it an excellent option for a peaceful getaway. With home prices averaging close to $107k and rental rates averaging around $425 for a 1-bedroom living space, Hamlet is the best place for affordable living in the entire state."

These are the 10 cheapest places to live in North Carolina:

  1. Hamlet
  2. Eden
  3. Tarboro
  4. Fayetteville
  5. Asheboro
  6. Thomasville
  7. Greenville
