Seeing as how most accidents happen within ten miles of your house, I'd say moving anywhere is a step in the right direction.

Lots of things to consider. First, can you get a job there or are you retired? Is weather high on your list? What about having access to healthcare if you are older, things to do or do you value land and space?

31, in a field where getting a job shouldn't be too hard, and land & space isn't exactly a priority.

We landed on Phoenix for these reasons. All the best. Finding somewhere new to live is really awesome. Keep us posted! |

How do you like Phoenix? My dad has a buddy that used to live there and loved it, only moved back to MO because he retired and wanted to be closer to grandchildren. I've heard a ton of good stuff about PHX though... |

Tons to do and all 4 professional teams. Very low cost of living. It doesn't have a big city feel because it is so spread out so traffic is pretty good most of the time. You do have to get used to driving though and the miles on your car add up quick. People seem to kind of stick to themselves which you can see as either good or bad. But we love it here and are not leaving for a very long time. |

Move to a state that does NOT have a state income tax. If I made the same money and lived in Texas or Florida, it be like getting a $5000 a year raise.

No offense to my CP bretheren, but moving is the sort of decision that should be based on more than strangers' advice. There's been some decent info given in this thread, but just because I or another poster loves a city is no guarantee that you would too.
Rank the factors that are important to you in a place to live (weather, cost of living, proximity to family, job market, etc) and see if you can find a city that has the best combination. As Rain Man's "coolest cities" ranking indicates, there are city rankings for just about anything. Leverage those to help you in your decision. |

If you can get over the Donkey love, then Colorado Springs is pretty nice. Tons to do and the city's not too big.

Been there a few times, sorry, but I have to disagree... My brother that lives there even says "military and meth heads" I've visited south Denver a lot as well, much better crowd in my opinion. Also have a brother in Durango co, that is a fun little town, but expensive

I've always thought Pensacola Florida would be perfect... you get the beautiful beaches/beach culture/outdoor activities, but in a city of 50k, big enough to have all the things you want without all of the big city BS.
