Hi, my name is Merrie and I am hoping to receive some help. I have to move out by next summer, I am living with a friend right now. I currently live in Vermont and hate it here with a passion. I would really love to get away from the long winters. I don't like the cold and really do hate snow but on the other hand I am not sure how I would do in hot summers as I complain when it hits 90 here.
I am mainly looking for:
Low crime
No snow if possible
Fresh air
Not overcrowded
Things to do
Beautiful scenery
Good place to raise a family
I am single and would be moving by myself. I would by driving to wherever I decide to move to. I will be looking for a bookkeeping/payroll job before I go. At first I will be renting a room to get me started.
Well, you can't drive here but we've pretty much got everything else except perhaps the jobs. It is economically hard to raise a family around here but if you can figure out a way to make enough money it works. Can you work online with clients?
For "not overcrowded" we have Molokai and Lanai. Not many jobs, there, though. Beautiful scenery all over the place on any of the islands. The only snow is up on top of the mountain where we can look at it from the warm & sunny beach.
The downsides are the distance from any mainland relatives, the lack of employment and the sheer distance to ship in goods and things. Not to mention the high cost of everything. Oh wellos! Good weather is expensive.
Maybe places like Charlottesville VA, Lexington KY, Chapel Hill NC, Athens GA, Auburn AL, Clemson SC and Oxford MS, among others. All of those places listed are college towns and you could possibly look at the colleges for employment.

I too agree with the prior mention of Chapel Hill, NC (and the neighboring town of Carrboro).
There's very low crime, minimal snow (milder four season climate), clean air, it's not heavily crowded/congested, beautiful landscape (lots of trees/green) and it's a great place to raise a family (nationally ranked public schools). Being a college town and part of a larger metro area (Raleigh-Durham), there's a lot to do.
The unemployment rate is low by national standards as well. (7.2%)
