affordable

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'pleasant housing over road within budget' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'pleasant housing over road within' is the wordplay.
'pleasant housing' becomes 'affable' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'over' becomes 'o' (cricket abbreviation).
'road' becomes 'rd' (abbreviation).
'within' is an insertion indicator.
'o'+'rd'='ord'
'affable' placed around 'ord' is 'AFFORDABLE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for affordable that I've seen before include "Reasonably priced" , "being within one's means" , "not breaking the bank" , "costing reasonable amount" , "Within one's ability to pay" .)
