CaptainXeroid said:What she said. Seriously, in most parts of Georgia houses are still reasonable. With metro Atlanta, you could have urban, suburban, AND rural all within about 20 miles if you head in the right directions.
Atlanta is very diverse, politically, economically, socially, culturally. The best HS in the state is a mile down at the end of my street. That's why my kids are still in public schools.We have plenty of schools where you could finish that degree. Georgia is mostly conservative, but there are pockets of liberals in case you need to see some.
I wouldn't buy brand new. They're put together with spit and paper mache. Ah yeah, modern building methods. Pfft.Last week, RK:hugkiss: & I walked through some brand new 4-5 bedroom houses over 4,000 sq ft for around $400k. I don't even want to know how much that would run in SOCAL.:help:
Faint said:Heeeey now...I like Huntington Beach! Nice waves north of the pier...lots of hot young women-folk. Clean community. But I guess it is a bit pricey, like most of SoCal. Seriously, to live here you really need to be into the lifestyle that SoCal offers...the nightlife, Hollywood scene, culture, shopping, models, cutting edge everything...otherwise you're throwing your money away. I'm often amazed by how much money is out here...so many mansion communities, expensive cars on the freeways. Of course, I also wonder how many of those people are in serious debt, or got their money by exploiting other people.
Sorry, I've travelled a lot but I like it here, so I have no really good recommendations for you as I think most states are pale imitations of California. If you want a laid back, green, plantlife & animals, away-from-cities-and-civilization lifestyle, you might want to look intoMaine. It's still pretty much a sleepy wilderness Christian state (and inexpensive). Bonus...anywhere you go on the East Coast will think you're the coolest thing ever because you're from Cali...seriously...one of the first questions you'll get, "have you ever met anyone famous?" They'll be in AWE of you. You could have your own cult! Like, "I once saw Angelina Jolie shopping on Melrose...worship me!" Represent, Victor. West SIDE!
Or if you like rainforests the best you're going to find are in Hawaii, but that's not exactly cheap housing either...so I guess that doesn't help. Or if you're not trying to settle down, and want to invest in a house and watch the property value skyrocket...Vegas baby, Vegas.
Salt Lake City. :no: ! Don't :biglaugh:! I'm entirely serious. We have a positively booming economy. Housing is affordable, the quality of life could hardly be better, and there is a strong Catholic community here. Give me your address and I'll send you a whole bunch of stuff from the Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce.Victor said:My wife and I have had several discussions about moving. We missed the housing boom here in Southern California and are being pushed into bad neighborhoods. I've been around that mess all my life and I don't want this for my family. So I either magically win the lottery, or I find a better place to raise my family. Not even an increase in pay would cut it here anymore. On average a mortgage payment is about 3,500 for a 3 bedroom home.
So I figured I'd ask about nice places to move to out of state or in the state of California.

Des Moines, Iowa, has one of the largest Bosniak communities in America - so I've always gotten the impression it's a nice place to live also!jonny said:I never thought I'd think this, but I really wouldn't mind sticking around here and raising my family here. Idaho (especially Boise) is pretty nice also.
Um...er...yeah, that is a good point.Booko said:...Honestly, though, CX, with all the amenities Atlanta has to offer and the decent housing prices to boot, I really couldn't recommend it to anyone just because of the bloody traffic. Have we beat out DC yet? I think we may have, and we have zip for public transport...
Normally I would agree, but we were able to see several houses in the community that were in various stages of construction. The build quality we observed was LIGHT YEARS ahead of the condo in which we live now which was slap-dashed together in 1987.Booko said:I wouldn't buy brand new.

That's a consideration, true. I always say my Aunt Nellie lived in Pensacola for 92 years and while she rode out a number of hurricanes she never washed away or lost her house. But everybody's not so lucky, and I know a few people who've just got sick of the whole thing in recent years. Seems the hurricanes are coming harder and more often.Booko said:Galveston has a big target painted on it...I wouldn't move anywhere in the Gulf Coast, nor most of the Southern Atlantic coast, except the GA coast, which for some reasons misses the big 'uns.
