For me the criteria are\nFriendly people, low taxes, low cost of living, level of Gov interferance with your life, natural scenery, climate, jobs, level of pollution (both traditional and urban) and the culture. \n\nStates I liked when I lived there \nTexas, Florida, (Loved Colorado when I lived there long ago but hated it when I went back. It was like California with more mountains. None of the Coloradian spirit was left. Just an imitation California)\n\nNorthwest Arkansas was ok. It was a pretty area but the taxes were evil. Bad enough I had to drive to Oklahoma to buy groceries once a month. I hear they've since repealed some of those taxes but it's still far to heavily taxed. \n\n\nStates that I'm interested in learning more about include Virginia, North and South Carolina, Vermont, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada and Iowa. \n\nI visited southern Ill and the area was pretty but taxes and cost of living too high in my opinion. \n\nI've not lived in Cali but I've rescued a few people from there :) The cost of living out there is insane. You get pulled over for going 5mph over the speed limit in alot of places and I've NEVER seen so many cops in my life. I think CHIPs has more officers on patrol at any given moment than most states have total cops. Seems like everything is against the law out there. I have heard tales of first offenders going to prison for things like graffiti and illegal dumping. Prison, not jail for this kind of offense. Every time I visit Cali I buy everything I need in Arizona, top off the tanks there. Then drive like I'm taking a driving test. Buy nothing and get the hell out of Cali as soon as I can. I almost expect them to ask me for a passport when I cross the border there. The people are unfriendly, the highways less than great. The climate mild but not all that spectaculer. Get up in the Santa Barbera area and you'll never want to see the color pink again. Building codes require EVERY building to look exactly alike. What would be quiant in a village becomes a monstrosity when applied to an entire town. That most of the towns in that area have the same code makes it into some sort of Twilight zone area. Well more of a puking zone area. I'm amazed people don't go postal there on a frequent basis just from having to look at the EXACT same kind of building over and over again over a period of years. Me it only took days before I never wanted to see that style ever again. This is a prime example of the kind of mentality in Cali. One of extreme conformism that makes conservitive states actually look wild. Even the "wild" people in Cali have to make a fashion statement while being "wild" it seems. To me it just seems like this huge unending trend machine. \n\nMissisippi didn't strike me as a great place to live. Very low standard of living, prevalent racism, authoritarian laws. When I go through there I just keep on going. \n\nWestern Oklahoma and West Texas are dry, windy inhospitable places. Local govs are entrenched and seem to hate outsiders. Hate both of those areas. East Oklahoma is like a whole different state. Pretty rolling hills, trees, people seemed nice when I passed through. I saw not a trace of racial tension in any visit to OK. People seemed to just be themselves there. Not alot of scenery and the jobs seemed relitively scarce. Taxes were on par with Tx last time I was through OK. Been there dozens of times over the last 10 years. Stayed overnight several times. \n\nI've driven through Kansas a few times. Bleached is the only word I can think of to describe that state :) Everything seems like it's been in the sun and wind too long. \n\nArizona is a decent place to live. People are friendly, not as friendly as in the South but close. It's a practical state and the desert has it's own kind of beauty. It's hot and it's dry. Not a state for gardeners or boaters. Taxes are reasonable, cost of living low but wa

Real estate prices vary across the state.  Location is everything when it comes to price.  If you have an idea of the specific city or county, you could look up property tax records for that area to get the tax assessments, which are normally VERY low compared to market value.  Another option would be to talk with a real estate agent in the area and they can give you an idea.

check out www.newyork.craigslist.org and the Sunday NY Times or Asbury Park Press (NJ) real estate section. There are also cheap places in Neptune City in NJ as they are older houses. No liquor on the beach there, however

Troy, Livonia and Dearborn are all close sub burbs and have fairly low crime rates. The best place to live is nowhere near Detroit. I was born and raised in the Upper Peninsula so I'm biased to the area. Good luck in your search.

You can go to the city or county web site and get stats for crime...In the city I live in (pretty big city) there is information by zip code, then by neighborhood. It really helps determine a houses resale value also.\nHope that helps.

Do you mean the State of Texas in the US?\n\nIt really depends on where you are moving to.  Housing isn't that expensive in rural areas but it can get quite expensive in the cities.

I would guess Monaco, which also has the lowest crime rate in the world. But that is the playground of people who do not have money worries.\n\nOn a more normal scale, Norway has a very high standard of living and property prices are nuts. I built a house 2 years ago for 3.2 million kroner, and it is now worth 5.5 million. That is a boom market. This is mid Norway. Northern Norway does not have the same cycle - we are in the oil and gas (Offshore) bracket here in Bergen.\n\nWe pay very high taxes though :-( \n\nHope that helps with your question

www.craigslist.org\n\nlook up the local newspapers for that region because classified ads for the newspapers are usually online.\n\n"good" and "bad" neighbhorhoods mean different things to different people.  On craigslist you can post a question, maybe a local will answer it for you, but no realtor or agent is going to do it because it's a borderline question, could be interpreted as racial profiling which is known in the realty field as "steering" and it will get an agent's license suspended, so they aren't going to give you a straight answer to that question.

Ohio has some amazing values right now.  Cleveland in particular is a real buyers market and features many older historic homes with significant architectural pedigree at amazing prices.  As well, you can find waterfront on Lake Erie very affordably.   Good Luck!
