5. Kenosha County, Wisconsin
Perhaps its proximity to Lake Michigan makes Lake County-Kenosha County, Illinois one of the greatest metro areas for outdoorsy types––and it's the cheapest place for housing on this list. The area ranks an impressive fourth overall in recreational activities, and given the fact that it came in fifth place for gyms per capita, gym rats have plenty of places to sweat it out during colder months. It ranked 11th for weight loss center access.
Median price per square foot: $106
