Where is the nicest place to live?

Question

I don't like where I live, In the Summer it's too hot and in the Winter, which lasts forever, it is way too snowy, I'm talkin blizzards. The air is really dry and the weather is very unpredictable. Anyways I want to know where in the U.S. does the weather stay pretty much the same through the whole year? Dont care if it gets hot, just not too hot or even if it gets really cold as long as there is no snow fall at all. Also, some place that isn't too expensive to live there. Thanks!

Answer 1

Well I hesitate to tell you this,cause to many people are moving here now, but Sequim, Wa (state that is), called the bananna belt, very mild all year, does get warm, maybe 85, does get cool, maybe 34, almost never snows, but in the hills near by, yes, rain is about 15 inches a year, there are beaches and mountains all in the same day.. cost of living is real valiable depend on how you want to live....

Answer 2

I live in St. Petersburg, FL and think it is one of the best place to live in the US. Here's some highlights:

#1: Average temperature of about 89 about 6 months out of the year and average of about 72 the other 6 months. It rarely gets over 100 and rarely goes under 65 during the day (we have a few nights in the 40s, but I am talking less than a week). It has snowed here 2 times in the last 100 years and certainly did not cumulate.

#2: For those hot days, we live in a beachfront town. Pinellas County has about 40 miles of beaches, including Ft. Desoto Beach, which Travel Magazine voted the best beach in America in 2005. No matter where in the county you live, you are always within about 15 minutes of a beach.

#3: Unlike MOST Florida Beach communities, there is a very thriving local economy here and many high-end industries to work in. Most FL beach towns rely on tourism and hospitality for their economy, so most of the people living there have to work in those industries. Here, we not only have the tourism aspect, but there are also many large corporations HQed in St. Pete AS WELL AS the fact that we are a subburb of Tampa, FL, a large city with all of the typical large-city job oppertunities.

#4: Althrough we are 15 minutes from all of the economic and cultural oppertunities and attractions of Tampa (thriving downtown, pro sports teams, theater, colleges, etc.), we are MILES away from all of the crime, homelessness, poverty, etc. that goes along with the big city. Tampa Bay separates St. Petersburg and Tampa, with three large bridge highways linking us. So even though you are 15 min away, you feel so far away from all of the city's problems while still being a short drive from enjoying all of the city's upside!!

Now the cons....

#1: Hurricanes. There is always a threat to get hit by a hurricane. We have not, however, taken substantial damage or a direct hit from a hurricane since the 1920s (over 80 years!!). Though the scare is always there during the mid to late summer months, I have lived here for 5 years and have never experienced any problems with hurricanes beyond some near misses.

#2: This is paradise, and it isn't always cheap to live here. We have some of the highest real estate appreciation rates in the country, so it is expensive to live here if you want to buy a house. HOWEVER, because of this, we have TONS of apartment housing that is usually reasonable. You can live in a decent two-bedroom apartment here for around $700-800. Everything else (restaurants, bars, shopping, etc.) is pretty much the same as anywhere else around here. There are cheap places and expensive places. The general rule of thumb is stay away from the touristy places, and it is pretty cheap!!

I love living here and would never go anywhere else!!

Answer 3

There is not an ideal place to live anywhere on the planet, however many places do not get snow, but the cost of living is outrageous, and often the Summers are very hot and humid. Most areas within Northern Florida, and Northern Arizona would most likely suit your desires, but as I said, neither is ideal. Good Luck.

San Francisco, California

Answer 5

Huntington Beach, CA it is 70 degrees year round and the scenery is amazing!!! Plus it is right by the ocean and lots of fun thing happen there like surf competitions and concerts and all, it is also only 20 min from disneyland!!

Answer 6

Answer 7

Prescott, Central Arizona, not the big cities or low deserts which are quite hot in summer.

Answer 8

Paradise, after death. I am sure if there is a place here on Earth, it is probably hidden cause no one would want anyone to find out about it or it wouldn't be Paradise anymore.

Answer 9

Arizona.

Answer 10
