The further West you go, the cheaper the town seem to be, North & West also. But you run out of public transportation options.
I was thinking of doing the same thing. I went to a few Condo Open Houses, to see what my price range looks like. But, I think if I was serious I'd actually have to sit down with a realtor & go thru everything. I'm not even sure what my official price range is.
Something new I learned: Co-op's are cheaper to purchase, but with a higher maintenance fee. You become a shareholder in the community (well that part I knew). But you have to be approved & they do a credit check & all this stuff. eek!
And Co-ops can become Condos, but I don't think it goes the other way. I'm still not sure what designates a Townhouse, haven't been to one of them.

HITTING BOTTOM ISN'T A WEEKEND RETREAT! IT'S NOT A SEMINAR! ONLY AFTER YOU'VE LOST EVERYTHING ARE YOU FREE TO DO ANYTHING! YOU SEE, YOU LISTEN, BUT YOU DON'T GET IT! YOU HAVE TO FORGET EVERYTHING YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING YOU THINK YOU KNOW!
