where would you live...

Florida has some beautiful places to live...out west of orlando especially. Eustis, Deland, Debury, Osteen...Orlando not so much. See Im not a city person though so that is what I dislike about it here. The only thing I think I would really really miss is the beach. I love being able to be at the water in under 30 minutes. Oh and alligators no I am 33 years old and have never had an alligator in my yard or house. Snakes on the other hand somehow have made it in my house (without any assistance from my husband or sons) at least 6 times!! Luckily most snakes here are harmless except to those especially terrified of them like me LOL

I was kinda thinking Florida. :huh: We had such a wonderful vacation. I just don't know about those aligators I hear coming into people's yards...but maybe they live by the swamp??? It probably happens just as often as you think Kansas Citians have horses in their back yards and ride on up to the corral each day. :)

awwww come on sure you dont wanna trade places for a little while and come live in Orlando? West Virginia really is my top location to relocate to!! I *almost* had my husband convinced to move there like two years ago but he wants to wait until the kids are all out of school so we have like 6 or 7 more years :-(

I have always loved visiting Orlando, but I'm always SOOO ready to come home (which, really, is how I feel about everywhere I've ever traveled to). The times I've been south of WV in the summer I always feel like I'm melting!!
 
I have only lived in Florida and New Mexico. I do not remember New Mexico though. We moved here in 1979 and I have never left.

Right where I do!

I love West Virginia...

I love living in a small town where I know 8 out of every 10 people that I pass on the road. Driving so far for good shopping stinks, but I'm a pro at shopping online and Pittsburgh is only a 2 hour drive.

I love having four seasons and getting to look forward to all of them: the cool mornings in the spring, hot temps of the summer, gorgeous leaves in the fall, and snow in the winter.

I really love it here. I also loved living in Blacksburg, VA when I was in school there - but it's a very similar atmosphere.

I have heard that WV is beautiful. I don't know if I would want to live in a small town like that...my sister did for awhile and loved it and I was ABSOLUTELY AMAZED that she did! She is a shopaholic and there was nothing there but a small JC Penneys (teensy) store, a walmart, and one clothing store...I would have gone nuts! She did drive 1 1/2 hours (each way) to go shopping almost every weekend...so she might as well have not moved. lol

I don't live in a big city...although Kansas City is 20 minutes away...but I'm within 20 minutes in different directions of like 4 hobby lobbys, 5 michaels stores, and several scrapbook stores! Couple shopping malls...including a Disnney store...many places to grocery shop...many Walmarts, Targets, Lowes, Home Depots...just about everything I need to shop at is anywhere from 5 minutes to 30 minutes max from my house. I'm so spoiled that if I have to drive 45 minutes...I think about it a lot because it will take so much "time" (aka Robotics...but I got over that).

...but we have a house with a yard...trees all around...in fact our street is a dead end circle drive with only 8 houses on it...with a sidewalk! Very very quiet. I like where we live...uh...did I say I wanted to move? :unsure:
 
I would love to travel. I really don't mind as much where I live... its just that I would love to travel and live at a bunch of places for awhile, then settle back down in one place. Here I'm central to everyone I know and it will be perfect when I have kids
 
I would move back to San Diego. We moved to Vegas 5 years ago for my DH's job. We were only supposed to be here a year! I am a water girl and I gave up my house 8 blocks from the beach to follow my (then) fiance... I love him with all my heart, but I HATE the desert and the extreme heat. I really miss green lush plants! Thankfully, Lake Mead is near by so it makes summer bearable.
 
Victoria, BC.. or somewhere on the island. Maybe not RIGHT in victoria but close.. I love it there. I am happy where I am too though :)
 
I'm already there :)

The real estate brochures around here advertise it as "Norman Rockwell meets Ansel Adams". We moved here 8 years ago from Wisconsin, and I absolutey LOVE it here! Mountains, small town, no crime, great weather (we do get alot of snow, but keep in mind I came from Wisconsin, it doesn't get as cold here in the winter)
 
I haven't traveled around enough to know where I would LOVE to be but I from the several places I have visited I would love to live in North Carolina.
 
Anywhere in the Pacific Northwest or the mountains for me. I currently live in Phoenix, and it is the armpit of the U.S.
 
We're hoping to end up in the hill country around Austin eventually. We both love Austin, and the area there, especially around Lake Travis is beautiful.
 
Arizona or New Mexico for the weather. Georgia or Tennessee for the cost of living and Colorado for my vacation home! :p
 
I'm particularly fond of where we live now, Madison, WI. It's one of those "best of both worlds" type places for me. We've got farmland/country, city, and suburb (where we live). We're two hours from downtown Chicago, 90 minutes from Milwaukee. There are aspects of Madison that remind me of where I grew up in NJ, and lost of things that remind me of the part of Ann Arbor where Andrew grew up. Love it!
 
I'd live in Jackson Hole Wyoming in a log mansion:wub:

I've lived in the Willamette Valley (Oregon) all but one year of my life. I love the small community that we live in now because it's close to places I go, but removed enough that I'm not in the city.
 
I really miss living in Northern California. Not so much Hollister, where my parents live, but more up north in the actual bay area. I was just up in the area yesterday and really made me miss it, especially the weather. You definitely don't get that ocean breeze in CO. :D Plus I miss the nonainy summers and being able to camp 10 months out of the year. I also would love to live overseas again, Japan or Australia would be amazing.
 
DH would really like to move to Colorado, but all of my family is here, so I can't imagine living anywhere else.
 
Somewhere HOT. I like the heat.

We lived in Michigan when dh was looking for a job and I said I'd move anywhere that was SOUTH. Now we're in Cleveland. :glare: He's hilarious.

At this rate, I'll get to the south by the time I'm 100.
 
I'd live right where I am - Maui - although I'd like to be a little more RICH to make it more comfortable since Maui is just about the most expensive place ever!! LOL. Also, if I were rich I'd live in one of those huge houses on the beach in Makena on the south side of the island or on a large-ish property in Haiku on the North Shore. We're in Kahului now, which is super convenient to work and the grocery store, etc. But since we moved into town (now we're about a 5-minute drive from the beach instead of across the street like we were in Kihei), we only go to the beach about once a week. When we lived in Kihei we would walk across the street to the beach after work for sunset probably 5 nights a week - I miss that. I do know that I could NEVER live in Honolulu. The Big City is so NOT for me. I like the small-town island life on Maui. Oh, and the weather is pretty darn perfect all year!!!
 
the cost of living in hawaii would be the one thing that would keep me from living there. Also being an island in the middle of the ocean do you have to worry about hurricanes like we do in Florida? (although I think they are called something different in that area??)
