If you could move anywhere in the US where would you live right now?

I work from home and I am freelance so I can live anywhere. I sold and gave away literally everything I own except what can fit in 2 rolling suitcases. I arranged for a 2 week stay at a local Airbnb to get my bearings. Where would you move? Give me some suggestions.

I’m so envious of you. Good luck!

And - probably Falmouth Foreside in Maine.

1. Travel for awhile.

2. Figure out which coast given proximity for travel to locations you'd want to go

3. Figure out what weather and population numbers you are comfortable with.

Personally I would leave this country and go anywhere abroad. We just got back from Europe and I love their way of life. We did Costa Rica in April and I loved it there too!

I'm jealous. I would get long term rentals personally in different cities as I go - no need to settle quickly just enjoy many places as you can.

DC. I love it here. Except maybe I’d go away for the month of August.

What? I have never ever heard anyone talk about NYC in relation to its "proximity to Europe".

Different poster- maybe get out more then. There are so many flights leaving JFK every day and it’s only about 7-8 hours to fly to most places in Europe. It’s a huge advantage.

Boston is closer.

LONG BEACH?? Are you out of your ever living mind? I live in the LA area and let me tell you, LB is a place you move out of and not into.

It's the only beach area in California where I can still afford to live within 6 blocks from the beach. Grew up there and I consider it to be beautiful. Way less pretense than any of the other beach enclaves in Southern California. Way less traffic, sprawl, and crowds than the west side of LA. Plus, its one of the only beaches in urban California where you are allowed to launch a kiteboard from shore. Also one of a very few full-time legal dog beaches in the state. The city also owns the port and the oil islands off the shore, thereby giving LB immense spending power.

But please, stay away from LB and tell everyone it is horrible.

Well geez you have low bar indeed. But all good!

A dog beach is a negative in my book. Pet owners don’t clean up properly and the sand is full of bacteria. No thanks.

True, but JFK has more flights. And Boston is terrible.

Summers aren’t as brutal as down south. Cultural stuff in this area is easy to access and often free (Smithsonians, street festivals, embassy events) and the park systems are really good.

And this is an odd thing, but the bugs get prehistoric when you go south of here.

So my answers aside from this immediate area: Charlottesville, Boulder (not in winter), Burlington (not in winter).

I totally agree with this. I love the easy access to both mountains and beach in Virginia. You have easy access to the BOS-WAS corridor without the harsh winters further north. Europe is within easy reach with the DC-area airports.

We've lived in several parts of the country and Virginia doesn't have the best of anything, but it offers A LOT of good things without much downside.
