... in what sane world is that a "moderate-cost area"? $70k/yr is well over $5k/month, and looking right now at the prices in my metropolitan area, you have to pretty much get a combo of 3 bedroom, luxury, and city-center to get something that expensive. And even then, I'd consider this metropolitan area to be high cost, just not obscene cost like SF or NY.
