What state is the best to live and has cheap rents? We want to move next year but are unsure where.?

Southern states, such as Mississippi, Georgia , and Alabama.  You can rent an apartment for under five hundred dollars (a nice apartment). You can then even cheaper if you don't really care about luxuries or bedrooms. Property is cheap as well as houses.  Look at Rent.com or realesate.com, often they even have info about the neighbourhoods.

MICHIGAN!!  I know we don't get much publicity but it is the best state ever.  The land ranges from amazing beaches, massive fresh water lakes, mountains, farm land, large cities, dense woods and just about anything you could want.  There is something to do every season (which we do get, hot summers, beautiful falls, great snow in the winter, pleasant springs).  There are great schools and awesome colleges.  The west is quite conservative while the east is very liberal.  There is something for everyone in this state.  Plus- no hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, mud slides, severe droughts and only rare, tiny tornadoes.  The reason you don't hear about MI much is we don't have the problems seen everywhere else.  Come visit the lake shore during the summer and you won't want to leave.

Dear Ortiz,\nNow that the housing market is finally looking up, it's the perfect time to seek out a new place to live. This summer you need to shake off that "lucky I even have my folks to live with" mentality, polish up your shoes, and explore your living quarters options! There are fun, flexible, fantastic places out there just waiting for someone like you!\nNow, get out there and pound the pavement. Beat on some doors until you latch onto that incredible tree house or fort you always wanted! \n(I heard the Blackhawk area is a great place to find a cardboard box near a dumpster behind the pizza joint?)\n-Noah

Unfortunately, Florida is the fastest growing state (population) in the union. Employers can pick and choose workers and the housing market is artificially inflated. I am planning on leaving Florida and heading for a cooler climate myself.

I would suggest the New Bern area.  Housing prices are now going up, but the people are friendly and the area is beautiful.

Is there really better places for them to live? I would say anywhere you want to live or feel most comfortable.

I would say live in a low cost area if it's accessible to your job, is safe for your family, etc. The less you pay for rent/mortgage, the more you can pay on your other bills... just my opinion. :)

You could rent for a year while you decide for sure what area you want to buy in.  That's what we did when we moved into an unfamiliar state.  Then you won't get stuck with a house in a neighborhood you end up really disliking.  Just be sure to check what the time-line is on reinvesting your capital gains on the sale of your current home.

i believe Honolulu, Hawaii has the highest cost of living for the USA.. I believe San Francisco is second......i live in the Dallas-Ft. Worth, TX area..we have a very reasonable cost of living here as does most of TX, because we have no state income tax, and because real estate taxes are pretty low, compared to the rest of the USA.. we generally have no snow days here either--i have been here 32 yrs, and have not shoveled snow in that time ..32 yrs..WOW

I went back and read your question.  Where are you coming from?  The cheapest way to move anywhere is to drive.  Rent a u'haul truck, tow your car, and just drive.  What part of Texas are you moving to?  I'm from Texas.  Good luck

I am in N O. The people here are faced with very few places to live, rent, or lease. Everything is full and prices are terrible. I hope someone can give you the answer your looking for because the reality of the situation here is grim.

I like Houston, Texas. The cost of living compared to other cities is relatively low and we do not have state income tax here in Texas. The weather gets hot, but bearable and we have lovely mild winters.

What and where is KANSAS ??\n\nARIZONA seems to be one of the fastest-growing places anymore.  Cost of living is less, although not a whole lot less (I'm told) than CALIFORNIA.  Nice weather and LOTS OF JOBS, I think.\n\nIf your family's there, I would go home and take a breather.\nAlso, if your parents are getting older, it would a VERY GOOD IDEA TO SPEND TIME WITH THEM BEFORE THEY GET MUCH OLDER -- you won't EVER REGRET THAT DECISION !!
