Can you? I would have thought that most US cities are either too small or too expensive for that. Or are you talking about the amount of rent specifically?

The USA is a huge place where cities are sometimes spread among vast distances, that has lead to creation of extensive urban centers like you described that are somewhat distant and thus cheap. You can find dozens of cities like that, but of course, the wage is also considerably lower. There is a phenomenon of US digital nomads - people who work remotely but move only across the USA, instead of going to e.g. Asia.
Currently living in a lively midwest town, 10 minutes walk from downtown and three separate centers of attraction. 500/month. It's possible.
