Auckland is in New Zealand.

Sure, in the wops. Anywhere near a city is very expensive. I'd say on average land and housing (building materials especially) is far cheaper in the US.

Well I guess it's good I'll be staying America. Gives me the right to being ignorant about geography!

Great! I don't want to be next to a major city. Maybe a 2hr drive to a small town with a post office and a store or two.

In some places yes, like in Alaska which is one of the main places I'm looking into moving to.
