While the midwest isn't exciting, it's cheap to live there, and there are places with good colleges/unis. Take a look at someplace like Kansas City, maybe.
I am leaving CA for St Louis this summer with my two pre-teen daughters. The cost of living is, without argument, more reasonable than I could have imagined. While CA has a lot in terms of beauty and weather, St. Louis is not bad at all. The universities there are excellent (Washington U especially). CA is a tough state right now. I pay twice as much for rent in a place three times smaller than what I'm getting in St. Louis.
Texas for sure. Best state for employment. Housing costs are very low. You can get a lot of house in Texas for the money. Weather gets hot during the summer, but you wont need a winter coat.

Kansas City is a very nice city with very good cost of living. I agree that you should take a look.
A nursing salary in Texas would get you a nice house. Also, there is a serious shortage of nurses in Texas and you could write your own ticket for area you want to work. Also, begin getting your nursing license before you get here. The Board of Nurse Examiners in Austin has some very complicated rules to get a license in Texas.
The suburbs east and west of Rochester,NY are very affordable and it is rated as one of the best metro areas to raise a family in the united states.You can buy homes for $70,000 USD,and large homes for under $200,000. I relocated here 6 months ago and there is a big demand for white collar workers.
