Try Austin, Texas. It's the "Live Music Capital of the World", it's in the middle of the "Hill Country", home of Lance Armstrong.  It's a beautiful place with dirt cheap housing compared to California, and the city promotes greenspace preservation and outdoor activities.  Look into it!

Santa Monica is probably the most expensive, followed by San Diego. L.A is probably your best choice as the population is quite diverse and the cost of living is not as bad.

I would check with Family Services in your city.  They can ususally steer you in the right direction.

Connecticut!!! Its a beautiful state. The cost of living is still a little high, but not as bad as long island. You won't be too far from the city, so you can still visit friends. The school systems are really good as well. Good luck with wherever you decide to go.

Denver is a pretty big city, population 4 to 5 million people now (including surrounding area). I wouldn't live there by choice. I live on the other side of the state in Grand Junction (just over 100,000 people), and it's a great place to raise a family. If you're looking for something closer to Denver I'd go with Colorado Springs (south of DEN), or Fort Collins (north of DEN), but they are both pretty good sized cities as well.

I am from Nashville and have raised three children here. The cost of living is not bad and there are jobs everywhere. Kentucky however has a very high unemployment rate.Unless you are a farmer I would suggest Tennessee.

Austin, TX\n\nI believe it is one of the fastest growing citites as far as technology.. \n\n(I ask someone from Austin while visiting recently,,why the traffic was so bad,, and he was telling me how fast it is growing due to technology)

Go to money.com  they have a site to compare relocation areas.\nOr Google  "cost of living".\n\nNo matter where you live, $36k with kids will be tough.

California is the best and one of the most expensive places to live.  Who cares about money when all of the beautiful people live here.

Have you ever thought about the Midwest?  I'd go western Illinois in some of the smallish university town.  That way there will still be jobs and plenty of housing available.  Good luck!

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.

If you like bigger cities Charlotte is a good place. There is much growth in the triangle (Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Chapel Hill). In the coast there are more things too do. North Carolina actually has the most growth in United States right now. But if you want to live in a calmer area i suggest in the mountains someplace like Asheville. In the triangle there are malls, downtown clubs, movies, shopping centers etc. I think youd like it.
