Yes, you do have a lot of degrees of freedom at ~$1K/month (I am assuming you’re single and have no expensive habits). All that it rules out is a few expensive cities (e.g. NYC, SF) and single-family-house suburbs. And even then you can live in NYC or SF if you’re OK with living in a bad neighborhood.
