Seattle is a great place to party away your 20s and really experience the hipster scene that is all the rage right now, but once you hit 30, there are better places to live. I think Seattle is a nice place but its on the level (in importance, not politics) of Denver, not San Francisco like people make it out to be.

Charlotte is another city thats overrated. Just to clear this up, I personally love Charlotte and would move there again given the opportunity, but I think its importance is greatly exaggerated. It's nowhere near Atlanta yet and thats a fact.

No doubt, no one would be raving about LA without the film industry. Defiantly overrated.

Orlando's pretty overrated. Way too dirty.

I think I already posted this a while ago but Boston is definitely the most overrated city in America.

Orlando overrated?? If anything, Orlando is a very underrated city.

How do you figure? I see nothing appealing about it every time I'm there.

I do. How is it overrated? I never see anyone overhyping Orlando. Ever.

The city itself isnt, but being from the North, the concept of moving there is, which everyone does.

"Hey brah! im moving to Orlando! Its sooo cold up here!"

Cause nobodys ever said that.

Hey, if it's cold up there, it's cold up there. I know Florida presents that "brah" culture, but whatever.
