  • Who would have thought there were so many hidden gems to move to in the United States?
    I took a bunch of data from the best list and combined a bunch of data with the cheapest list and was shocked when I ran the data and it spit out a really solid list of great cheap places to live. I was like damn. This is the ultimate list. And i’m sharing it with you today.
    And that’s what we’re going to go through in this video. Every state has a best cheapest place to live. Or a cheap best place to live - however you want to think about it. Hopefully these cities remain cheap and great. We need more cheap and great in this nation. Seems more and more these days, GOOD places to live that are actually affordable are harder and harder to find.
    If you’re trying to move and you want an idea of a place that’s booming, where there’s lots of jobs and homes are going up fast, this will help. Or maybe you’re like some people and you want to AVOID the crowds. Let’s take a look at the fastest growing cities in the US - and we’re gonna travel in style.

      Where did you move from Jimmie? My Friend moved to Vegas and he said he loves the suburb where he lives. He said because many work nights on the strip, many of them are in bed during the day, so it’s great for low traffic volume and his kids can play outside in the cul de sac all day and not be bothered by any passing cars or traffic passing through. Plus off his back yard is the desert to walk his dog. He installed a gate on his back fence, he just opens the gate and has hundreds of square miles of desert and hills to walk the dog!

      @@matty6848 I moved here from Southern CA. And yes the suburbs are really nice & safe here. Yes there is some bad to avoid but I work a driving job so I've been ALL over probably every neighborhood & I would say it's an 80/20 split between good / bad. Nights are beautiful here especially in Fall & Winter. Being sourounded by mountains is always a perk too. Biggest downsides are that the schools/education suck out here so I wouldn't raise a family here. And the hustle & bustle life is so strong the hospitality business really runs everything out here. When covid hit I lost jobs. The job markets outside of hospitality aren't lucrative enough in my opinion. I am looking into CO, OR, TX, or NC in my future 👀.

From AZ to Lynwood WA - super bad idea, got depressed without my sunshine, people avoid eye contact, but man the food was so good. Then to Nor Cal; an hour north of Sacramento in a little place called Colfax along I80. By far the best mix of mountain rural and close to amenities my family has experienced. 2018 moved to NW Boise...OMG its terrible how crowded it is here already. Forget the price of a house, never seen anything like how fast the costs went up. I do feel terrible for the locals, Treasure Valley is getting Californication.

    From CT originally.
    Middletown IS one of the most under appreciated small cities in the northeast.
    Most residents are a nice mix of professionals and workers, with some artsy types who give it a fun vibe, and the Main Street-centered downtown is really well preserved and filled with restaurants and shops, and the nearby neighborhoods are very walkable.
    It’s halfway between NYC and Boston, and Hartford and New Haven aren’t far away.
    The city does need better and newer housing stock, especially town homes and condos, and the gateways into town are strip-mall ugly and needs better daily offerings like a Trader Joe’s and Target, but it’s really quite a great place overall.

    How I would explain Dunedin FL, is it's one of those lower-middle to middle class suburban areas that is being lifted up as the entire area is being lifted up. It's not a bad place by any means, it's just more humble than the surrounding areas that are more expensive. It's a wonderful area right next to the gulf of mexico, with a causeway that goes out to some islands with nice beaches. It's also only like 15min from the touristy clearwater beach if thats your thing. The north end of the county is really nice and safe and insulated from any bad areas. It's basically suburb in every direction for a long time.

    I have relatives in Fairborn, O H, another Dayton suburb that is decent and affordable. I understand you had to pick one, though.
    Spend the night in Montpelier or Burlington when you take the Amtrak Vermonter train up there especially this time of year, you will not regret it.
    And Queen Elizabeth II visited Sheridan, W Y in the 1980s, so that is neat.

    And there are a lot more things to do in the Madison area besides what is in Madison. The Wisconsin Dells is a great place, Baraboo has the Great Circus Museum and they have actual circus performances every day, just west of Madison is the awesome beautiful driftless area of Wisconsin and also a very interesting house and museum called "The House on the Rock". New Glarus has an annual Heidi Festival (because it is predominantly Swiss), even the far north of Wisconsin has the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore (which is so beautiful, especially in the winter when you can actually walk on Lake Superior and see the ice caves) and the Richard Bong historical sights (he was America's highest scoring ave of WWII). The north east is awesome too. And despite the crime Milwaukee does have a lot of great things to do (just stay out of the wrong areas, especially at night). Summerfest, State Fair, many ethnic celebrations, (La Crosse on the Mississippi River on the northwest side of the state is supposed to have the best Octoberfest, and also one of the largest populations of Bald Eagles in the contiguous 48 states). Oshkosh has the Experimental Aircraft Association and their museum and annual Airventure where hundreds of aircraft of all different types can be seen. And Wisconsin has some of the best county fairs to be found, including Walworth County Fair in Elkhorn which is held every Labor day week (unless highjacked by covid). But the best is in the area of Green Bay! Not oy are the Packers and Lambeau Field with all there is to do there up there, but they have the Old Fort Howard historical sight and a huge train museum. And then there is totally awesome Door County! If you visit Door County, you will most likely fall in love with it!

      Lafayette is plagued with problems. Change is slow and fought every step of the way. They still can`t ( or won`t ) figure out how to get I-49 through the city. It took them 30 years to build a bridge, and then when they did build it, it was only because of a new upscale neighborhood. They build new upscale parks and repair roads in the well-to-do areas. Some roads are barely passable but the ones that are fixed are just in the newer upscale areas. That is how it was done in the past. There is even a saying about change ; " Don`t rock the boat, or you will end up gator bait !!"
