Where would you live?

[glass-slipper]

if you could choose to live anywhere in the US that you wanted, where would it be and why?

Tennessee. Beautiful mountains. Southern hospitality. Close enough to drive to WDW and the ocean. Seems like the best of everything to me.

Honestly, I think I'd live right where we're living. In the Texas Hill country. It's gorgeous, the people are friendly, jobs and medical care are readily available, the schools are great, cost of living is reasonable, housing is awesome,and it's warm all year round. I always thought I'd want to live on the coast somewhere, but never again.

Aventura, Florida - near North Miami Beach. Beautiful area, great shopping, fantastic restaurants. Close to everything. Sunny and warm. I love it there, but alas I am stuck here in the middle of NC. Sigh!!

Did you live there before? We moved from there in '95(before they incorporated) up to Atlanta.

EASY! California along the coast. Not the beach. There's a difference. I hate the beach like Malibu area, but I love a rocky coastline like along northern CA Carmel, Monterey, Santa Cruz, etc.

I'm not sure exactly where, but it would certainly be somewhere in the Southeast. From Virginia on down to Florida! I'd like to live somewhere where the crime rate isn't so high and where the cost of living is average-to-low. It would have to be close to major musuems and cultural activities, but I don't want to live right in a city. I'm tired of congestion and traffic. Living about an hour away from the ocean (or less....) would be a bonus! Having WDW closeby would be super. : )

Celebration, Florida. It looks like such a beautiful community, I love the style of homes there!

Yes, we lived there 2003 to 2004 - LOVE, LOVE, LOVED it! The change there was so fast, even during the time we were there, it was like mega growth and change every day. The traffic was bad, but honestly it didn't bother me, it was just a price to pay for living there.

I love my town but I'm not happy with the State of New Jersey right now. Otherwise, I'd say right where I am. My other choices are New Hampshire in the White Mountains or on the Gulf Coast of Florida.

 

[Galahad]

Right where I live now - Indy.

Somewhere in the panhandle of Florida...anywhere from Tallahassee to Pensacola. It has seasons, yet it never snows or gets too cold, beaches are gorgeous, and I'd still be not too far from WDW. Oh, and the crime rate is fairly low, too.

We lived just west of West Dixie and north of Ives Dairy. I miss it a little, when we went to visit in 2001, we finally saw the massive flyover that wasn't there when we moved away. I remember when there was no Aventura Mall...LOL. Where exactly were you, housewise? It's funny, I was skimming the taxes etc for homes in Dade Co. and it has EXPLODED down there.

Arizona. Give me hot and dry over Michigan weather any day.

Exactly how I feel. We live in MD too and I want to move!!!



Anyone else?

We were in an apartment, I was going to say behind the Fresh Market on Biscayne, but they had JUST built that when we were there. We were east of Biscayne, oh right by Williams Island. Oh, to live there!!
I LOVE Aventura Mall. Our daughter went to this wonderful little school, St Lawrence. The people we met while there were wonderful!

We have been in Winston Salem, NC for a year now and honestly we haven't made the FIRST friends here. It is the most closed up tight place I have ever lived in. DH's job is going to be moving this summer, so we will be moving to Greensboro. So, hopefully that will prove to be better for us than this has been.

I'd take Atlanta in a heartbeat now!

St Augustine, Florida. Beautiful beaches, bays, rivers, and marshes, plus a pretty, historic town with plenty of things to do. Luckily it's even closer than WDW . We were just there for lunch last Saturday. But I want to live there!! No jobs, though, unless you're in the construction or hospitality industries.

I used to want to live on the coast of Maine - preferably in a big, old Victorian house with a widow's walk - high on a rocky cliff..

Now that I'm older, I'm finding that the cold (and depressing) winter weather bothers me a LOT more - so - my plan is to spend 7 to 8 months a year up at the lake - 2 months here at my DD's (at least until my DGD is a little older) - and then the rest of the time in Florida..
