Wanted to get the great minds on this form help me out deciding where to settle down in the US. I have been moving within the country (KS, NY,NJ, Chicago) for the last 10 years but time to buy a house and stay put. Here are my criteria for the new location:
- Good public schooling (have a 3 yr old and a 1 year old)
- Good job market (am in IT management)
- Warm weather (don't mind mild winters)
- Low housing cost (want to buy a house and move in)
- Low cost of living
I would really appreciate your help in the matter. Thanks!
Your 3rd criteria( Warm weather ) should have been put in bold as it appears many posters couldn't read it .
Check out Fayetteville Arkansas ( mild 4 season climate, low cost of living, home of University of Arkansas, good schools )
The only thing I am not sure of is job opportunities, but NWA ( north west Arkansas is headquarters to many huge companies )
Miami/Los Angelos/New York people are pretentious and possibly shallow, but at least they are cool.
NW Arkansas not so much. You would expect down to earth southern charm, but no, they all trying to be Paris Hilton and Jersey Shore, with all the fakeness, but lack the coolness.
