People buy land for a variety of reasons, including as an investment, or to (eventually) build a home. And like everything else right now, cost is a major factor for those determining where to purchase land, or whether they can afford to do so in the first place.

Of course, not all land is created equal, and the price of an acre (or five) depends on multiple factors, including it’s zoning, proximity to a city or town, and topography. This typically means that the cheapest available land (in the United States, at least) does not have utilities, and often, doesn’t have road access either.

Keeping those things in mind, here are some of the cheapest places in the U.S. to buy land.
