DawnM Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Heather, Why not look at Northern CA or Southern Oregon? From SoCal (LA area) we could get to Medford in about 10 hours. Places like Fairfield, CA or Redding might be a good alternative as well. Even Sacramento is far less $$ than San Fran, LA or San Diego. Dawn Thanks everyone!! We are starting the hunt. I'm really liking the GA idea after spending some time on realtor.com. Wow - We are paying WAY too much for our housing. Anyone have any experience with the SouthWest - say Arizona or New Mexico? It was an idea that came up last night when we were talking. We don't want to live in CA but these places would be closer to his parents without being in CA.

mandymom Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 We live in a northeast suburb of Houston (Kingwood/Atascocita area). Other than being pretty hot in the summer, it's really a great place to live, IMO. The economy hasn't been hit quite as hard in this area, and home prices are really good compared to the rest of the country. We are just 20-30 minutes from downtown Houston, but still away from the "city". There are great hospitals, universities, cultural events and places, and a great library system. It is also has a very involved homeschooling community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedmom4 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Charlotte, NC. Plenty of mixed race couples here. Traffic is minimal (definitely compared to where you are currently living). Housing costs and taxes are low. The homeschool community is vibrant and growing, and our hs laws are easy to work with. There are many IT places in the area and Microsoft is building a location nearby as well (if that is of interest). We have similar weather to northern Georgia. __________________ I also want to add that there are several great competitive gyms in our area.

besroma Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Heather, Did you move? Are you still looking? Southern Maryland is great if you are still looking..... Also, we moved from the Raleigh/Durham area of NC and I would recommend that also! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CountitallJoy Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I wasn't even thinking of moving, and you've already half convinced me I want to live in Idaho! Maybe in a few years when the kid has gone to college... :lol: Me too!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
