I love lush scenery myself and loved all the Pine Trees in Florida, especially Orlando.

I also know that alot of the land on the outskirts of metropolitan areas in North and Central Florida is rather affordable and there many properties that are acreages.

I never considered Florida. I had been to Orlando as a kid and in different parts of Florida but it was alll touristy. I will research the other areas. Many thanks!

Awesome! Thank you. I will definitely check out New Mexico and Ashville. I think I have a high school friend in Ashville. Is there woods in NM? Many thanks!

Not much in the way of jobs up here, though.

Argh. Overcast and rain makes me feel so lazy! But the landscape up there is so beautiful. I bet the hiking trails are amazing. Many thanks for the advice!

I have a lot of area to check out. I need to travel more. Luckily, City Data has a lot of threads about each city mentioned and I can research city numbers/stats. Many thanks!

Yeah. I have a lot of work to do when it comes to finding the exact right place for me. I haven't spent a lot of time in the SE - been to Florida and NC and passed through the eastern states leading down to Florida but am not personally familiar with the others west of there.
