Okay, this site has helped me a lot with my research for a new home. Now i have it somewhat narrowed down between four states; VA (where i currently live), NC, SC, and TN. My city choices have a lot to do with my company, Wachovia, being in each one and they have a cheap standard of living. Which one of these cities would be the best fit for my critieria?

- Inexpensive ( i may only make $25k a yr when the time comes, $32k if i get lucky)
- Easy to avoid bad areas
- 4-yr schools with decent reputations
- good AG/pentacostal churches

Richmond, Columbia, or Knoxville. Do not move to Winston Salem, you"ll regret doing so.

Columbia is nice, safe, and has a strong religious presence (but not in an overpowering or pushy way).

Richmond would be an okay choice, although there are quite a few dangerous areas, you just have to be smart about it.

TN and NC are getting more expensive.

Well, that was certainly not in the list of choices, but I guess that's life.

LOL, right. Not a bad choice though; Louisville definitely gets overlooked and is a bit underrated.
