Thank you all!
San Diego sounds perfect...perhaps I shall have to visit! Is the weather there good for gardening (like vegtables, fruits, berries)? The cost of the things you mentioned are cheaper than I thought they would be, esp. for rent near the ocean!! <3
I am also curious about the area of Texas near the Gulf of Mexico, and also any areas of New Mexico that are near beaches/lakes for swimming. Anybody? ~_^

Yes the weather is excellent for gardening as it rarely goes below freezing and if you live closer to the coast it most likely will never go below freezing. At most 1-3 times a year, if at all, will some inland communities go below freezing. A lot of inland areas grow Avocado's and they can't handle temps below freezing. Water is expensive though as SD imports most of it.
I'm looking to re-locate to a state that has a warm to hot climate (about 60-90 degrees or so) most of the year, with lower humidity. I don't mind cooler nights/winters, but I'd prefer somewhere that generally has nice weather for outdoor activities. I currently live in WI, and I am sick of the freezing weather and humidity!
I would also prefer somewhere that is known for friendly people, artistic communities, and lots of fun things to do outdoors. Being close to a beach or lake for swimming would be a good bonus too!! Also, a low cost of living would be nice. Tall order, huh? hehe!
So, if anyone knows of or lives in a state/city/area like this, let me know where, and why you like it! So far, I have been considering Texas, New Mexico and Tenesee.
I was thinking about California, but from what I've heard about the general attitude there, I'm not sure. I would prefer somwhere that is known for welcoming people, and more of a small-town attitude, if you know what i mean? Feel free to prove me wrong, though, becuase I do like the climate in CA and have relatives there. ^_^
Thanks in advance!!!
You'll need to move west of the 100h meridian (western Nebraska). Beyond that, you'll need to check places one by one. There are places with mild weather in Idaho and others with severe weather in Arizona and California.

You dont want humidity but are considering Texas and Tennessee??? hahahhahaha
I suggest you do A LOT more research before you move. Picture the hottest and most humid day in WI that youve ever experienced. Picturing it? Good. Thats the NORMAL Texas and Tennessee summer weather, even more humid though. I would look into Northern New Mexico, sounds about perfect for you.
Tennessee gets pretty hot & humid in the summer--it's not quite as bad temp wise in the Smokey Mountain area during the summer.
I can relate to your post though--having lived in Florida for 8 years now--I love the warm/hot weather--I just don't like our excessively high humidity for 5-6 months of the year. I'm looking for the same thing you are.
I live in Las Vegas and yes, the average July temperature range is 104 high-78 low. The average January temperature range is 57 high-37 low. This data is from National and Local Weather Forecast, Hurricane, Radar and Report . It rarely reaches freezing mark in Las Vegas, so "tfox" info of 28 average low is incorrect. St. George is very nice and so is Sedona and Prescott in Arizona, both of which are up out of the extreme heat of Phoenix area but not in the cold and snow of Flagstaff. Albuquerque has a very nice year-round climate, too.
Wow, lots of great suggestions! Thank you all so much...sorry if I sounded kind of clueless, but I haven't really done much research on geography until now.
