I grew up (mostly) in Orange County, CA (1976-...) and am interested to know what other places in the U.S. (cities, towns, counties, etc.) are a lot like OC back before it got so hugely developed and hugely crowded. I'm not interested in the weather or proximity to beaches & mountains (I can see that for myself on a map). A bit slower-paced than the current OC is a bonus.
So far, I've identified Hamilton County, IN as a fairly good comparison. Any other ideas?
If this has been asked and answered before, sorry...please provide link(s) to those thread(s).

Northern Mecklenburg County NC around Davidson, Cornelius and Huntersville might be a match.

I’m guessing any number of suburban areas would fit the bill.
Johnson County Kansas comes to mind.

Thank you all for the feedback. Keep the suggestions coming! 
One question about the Metro Atlanta area I have is the traffic...I've read where it's really bad. True? |

I still don't understand how Metro Atlanta has a reputation for unique horrific traffic. It's weird.

Anyway, if you like spaciousness and a roomy, but Orange County-like, atmosphere, you will like Metro Atlanta.

Where do you plan to work?
What other lifestyle attributes do you prefer? |

Southwest Houston/Sugar Land area due to lots of Asians especially Vietnamese. It's kind of crowded-ish but I'd assume at least a little less than OC.
