Strange, that with Texas many people say "only Austin" or "Austin, that's easy" .... while not making similar comments on the cities chosen for other states.
Well...I lived in Texas once and, of all the places I explored, Austin is the only place I thought I could live in. I thought San Antonio was a nice place to visit but I couldn't imagine living there.
BTW, I lived in Houston.
are not know as having 4 Seasons, just because a few small areas has mountains where it does snow. That is why I would rather pick a state, like a NJ, where the entire state does.
Hot is very relative. I don't like anything over 75 degrees and even with that, not for long periods of time.
The OP asked to choose a city or area and not the entire state. Since you have such narrow criteria for what type of climate you want to live in one would think you would choose those areas instead of writing off an entire state. Also realize that in your four season states they still have very warm and humid summers over 75. But in a place like CA you could live in an area that is cold and snowy in winter then in summer travel to the northern coast where the temp never goes above 70 degrees. The average high in Eureka, CA during August is 64 degrees, which is colder than anywhere in your four season states. You say you like 4 seasons but don't like anything over 75, which would be summer weather. So you're basically saying you don't like summer but yet still like all four seasons. What kind of twisted logic is that?

if it is only for a very short time. Not crazy about Spring too much either. So I should say I like TWO seasons, Fall and Winter. Really everything 50 degrees and UNDER.
What state has 50 degrees and under all year? Alaska?

Yea, Alaska's your only bet and only the northernmost and coastal areas of Alaska. So I guess Barrow is the only city that really meets your requirements. However, you'll find temperature ranges far closer to 50 degrees and under year-round in the western contiguous states than you will in the East.
Someone gave me an anonymous rep point with some queries. I'll do my best to answer (respectfully), here goes:
*I have never really found Hawaii appealing, at all. I'd rather hit up the Bahama Islands because it is closer. I have had some relatives spend some weeks in Hawaii island hopping (something I can do in the Bahamas).I have enjoyed the Bahama Islands a lot and if I get tired of that, then, I can always see the rest of the Caribbean. When I think of a Hawaiian vacation, I think of some corny luau, surfing, and visiting a sugar cane farm...That just doesn't interest me.
*I would consider Orlando because I'm there every year visiting some relatives (been like that before I started elementary school and still continues). I would consider Miami because I like the metro area.
*No I'm not foreign and No I'm not from NJ (from ATL).
Basically, I don't feel that I am missing out on anything if I choose the Caribbean Island over the Hawaiian Islands. I respect the Hawaiian's culture but they roast pigs in Cuba too. If someone offered a free or discounted trip to Hawaii, I would take it but I can get a similar feel in the Caribbean. Whoever you are, I hope that explains things.

Puerto Rican friends who roasted a pig every year for their 4th of July BBQ,
Hi....I decided to write just because I had to say that the best place I've ever lived (and I used to be an Army Wife so I've been a few places) is
New Brunswick, NJ.
I saw NJ was one the places you listed and I loved it. I'm actually trying to move back now. What I liked most was the fact that it is a equally diverse city (no majority of race there as I can tell). People are friendly. Nice Malls. Nice neighborhoods. Houses and Renting is fair. And it's just big enough. It's not too small (Blink your eye and you could drive right through it) or too big (like New York). The only other place I'd consider on your list is Texas, Austin or Killeen.
You missed the point of the topic (reading isn't just recognizing words but also comprehending them) and most of your non-answers rely on stereotypes that aren't true.
Arizona has areas high in altitude. Did you know that as you get higher up in altitude the temperature gets colder? And if you go high enough, you can even get snow! That one's a freebie.
California has very few palm trees. The vast majority of the state is too far north or too dry for them unless you really made an effort. Its incredibly diverse topography and north-south alignment means you can get a huge range of temperatures.
Hawaii has snow (look to the Arizona paragraph to see how). It's also not that hot along the coast and lower elevations since its location in the middle of the Pacific keeps it a lot cooler than other places at its latitude.
Umm actually there are tons of Palm Trees in California...where exactly are you looking? I live in Northern California and can't go a few blocks without seeing them.
Arizona- Prescott. I love that town. Would consider Sedona or Flagstaff as well. Not Phoenix.
California- San Clemente (lived there for a year and loved it!), Laguna Beach, the whole central coastal region. Sonoma, Napa, Mendocino, Marin County (married there!) and San Francisco
Florida- Not a fan of Florida. I've only been to Destin and Naples though, so no comment. I am sure there are beautifuk places to live that I haven't seen.
Hawaii- Maui or Kauai (sp?). Didn't love Honolulu.
New Jersey- I suppose Hoboken, since it is near NYC. I have never traveled around NJ, so no comment.
Oregon- The coast of oregon in an old victorian B&B. Beautiful!
Texas- ONLY Austin and the hill country... (yes I lived in Dallas and Houston).
