I would hope the cost of rent would be more than the cost of yard maintenance.

For real comparisons you’d need to throw a mortgage in there.
I don't think you're missing anything. Even if you factor in a mortgage, your living cost could go up by about 2 to 3 times, depending on the value of your CYV, and your mortgage rate.
