BuisnessWeek's Best Affordable Suburbs for 2010

The results range from established high-income neighborhoods to growing middle-income communities. For example, the smallest town on the list, Cave Creek, Ariz., has a population of about 5,000 and a median family income of $108,546, while Moore, Okla., one of the largest, has more than 51,000 residents and a median income of $63,309, according to OnBoard's estimates. Despite their differences, all these places offer young families an attractive location to raise children and remain close to employment opportunities.

Berkley, Mich., a city of 14,416, ranked as the most affordable suburb on the list. The median home-sale price fell to $103,799 last year, from $130,000 in 2008, according to Onboard.
