Are there any areas in the US that have a climate similar to what you would find in the San Diego area? 70-80 degree summers and temperatures that rarely drop below the 50's in the winter? I have a health condition that makes my hands extremely sensitive to the cold, so I need to get out of Pennsylvania. I want to move somewhere where it doesn't get cold, but I'd prefer if it didn't get insanely hot like Phoenix. San Diego seems perfect, but it's so damn expensive. Are there any areas like this out there?

You are in luck as you are not the first poster here who is sensitive to cold.

There are not many places like San Diego, except the adjacent California coast north up to maybe Santa Barbara.

Inland southern California gets almost as hot like Phoenix. There is of course southern Florida, which isn't nearly as hot as Phoenix but it is very humid.

Yeah, places like Florida, Arizona, and Texas just seem entirely too hot. I don't want to move, but it's really not possible for me to live in this cold climate anymore, so I want to at least move somewhere that won't make me miserable. I lived in Memphis, TN for a while and I couldn't believe how cold it got in the winters. It was almost as cold as here in PA just without the snow.

You need to move to Australia, probably the state of NSW in particular (sorry no help with the US areas).

Here in Sydney we do not get hot summers (maximums are in the 70s and 80s although a handful of days in the 90s and maybe one or two in the low 100s), but our winters are very mild and quite sunny (in July our coldest month, most days climb to the low 60s).

It can rain a bit though and our sunshine totals are nothing like California, but if you are after relatively low fluctuations of climate year round, it is not a bad bet

Snow is an almost non event as well.

Most places that don't normally experience severe cold during the winter (Florida, Phoenix, San Diego, etc.) but have pleasant winters often having excessively hot summers, so it's a tough call. San Diego being the exception with the hot summers.

Maybe San Francisco? I don't know how much cold you can tolerate, but temperatures don't usually fall below 40 F (unless 50 F is the minimum you can handle). Summers are rather cool, so it barely meets your 70-80 F criteria. Not sure which place (SF and SD) is cheaper though.

If you want a relatively cheap place in the US without much temperature fluctuation.. the southern Oregon coast around Brookings, OR or the Northern California coast around Eureka, CA would be your best bet. Eureka averages a high of 54F in January and only a high of 63F in September (the warmest month). It might be a bit cool overall but in terms of moderate climate and cheap place to live in the US, it's hard to beat.

Yeah, I just happened to check out Eureka the other day. I can't believe the climate there. Crazy how it never seems to get hot or cold there.

To many folks...I would bet that 63 F for a daily high would not even be considered a warm spring month - lol. Brrrrrrrrr.

Is Eureka a nice place to live? It looks pretty nice from what I gathered.

Well as long as you don't mind the cool and foggy summers.. I imagine it would be pretty nice there... not too expensive.. lots of nature.. Redwood National Park is closeby.. (tallest trees in the world)...
