Where would you recommend? (low crime, houses, established neighborhood)

[jesstee8]

For me to live? I am planning on moving soon and I'm confused on where I want to go. These are the states that I am looking into:
-North Carolina
-South Carolina
-Tennessee
-Georgia

Now here is what I am looking for. I want a town with the population of 10,000-100,000. give or take a little is fine. Nice and very charming town and historic downtown area. Nice people. Jobs either in the town or a short commute to a larger area. House wise, I do not like new construction places, I would like to live somewhere with well established neighborhoods with two story houses. (just to include it and help you envision what I want.. I like houses that are two story like i mentioned a second ago, with charm, and looks nice from the outside, with a front porch, and I love the idea of have a white picket fence, so if you know a neighborhood like this feel free to let me know ) price ranges between $150,000-$300,000. Of course, the town has to have a low crime rate, good schools and is family friendly.

If you have a town in mind that fits these description then let me know. Now, if you know of a town that fits these description but arent in the list of states I gave, let me know anyways and I will look into it. Thank you for your time and response

In Upstate NY, you might like Saratoga Springs, Auburn, Geneva, Canadaigua, Oswego, Corning, Cortland and Rome. There are others I'm sure, but those are some I know of off the top of my head.
