These places in the US any good to live?

Seattle is cool and damp, which may not be good if you're older and have any type of arthritis or respiratory problems. Its is also quite expensive.

Jackson, MS - People are moving away from that town, not to it. There are some racial problems there and also a LOT of crime. More than one might think.

Those are the only 2 cities you listed that I know much about.

Overland Park is a suburb of Kansas City on the Kansas side. Low cost of living, easy access to the metro area. Might be tops on your list, but I can think of better places to retire.

I hear that there is some town, or an area, in middle Tennessee that is a very nice place to retire - with a pretty low cost of living. I've never been there, though, but its supposed to be the area around Nashville. I know a lot of people who have transferred there and also retired there.

You will freeze your ass off in Rochester, and as far as I know it's flat, so you'll freeze and you won't even be able to ski or snowboard while doing it.

Plenty of snow in Rochester.

Hanover is a lovely town, along the Connecticut River, just across from White River Jct (where the White River joins the Connecticut) and is home to Dartmouth College (an Ivy League school). Very lovely community. Long New England winters but otherwise an ideal setting. The downside is that it is pretty far from any metropolitan area. Being a college town means that it has a lot of culture for a town of it's size, but it's still not a city. The closest cities would be Concord and Manchester NH, Boston MA, and Montreal.

I'm familiar with Cary, NC but I've never actually visited. It's supposed to be a good place to live.

Cary / Raleigh / RTP North Carolina sucks!

Do not come here. We only have two months worth of water left and our schools are overcrowded. We have to pass a bond every year for school growth and yet they can't build them fast enough.

We have lots of tree's and greenways that we can't afford to cut down or destroy to make way for your house cause we have to breathe.

And, as if all of that isn't bad enough, we're also a red state.

You've been warned!

Oh, I almost forgot...

When family or friends visit the only culture you'll have to show them is the Andy and Opie statue down at Pullen Park.

Nothin' else goin on here.


Seriously.

Seattle (USA - WA) -- wet, but there's a lotta tech there. Dunno if that's important to you.
Sioux Falls (USA - SD) -- cold. Very cold. So skiing etc. should be great but only if you like that sorta thing.
Rochester (USA - NY) -- economy has been depressed for years, due to the pullout of Kodak and others. Old industrial city, not doing so well.
Jackson (USA - MS) -- another not so great economy, but much better weather. EmilyGreen is right on the money.
Hanover (USA - NH) - TOWN -- much like any other town in New Hampshire or Vermont or Maine. Small, chilly and you need to get to a city (in your case, as JPB said, it's White River Junction -- I've been there and it's about as much of a "city" as Hanover is) for any sort of culture or to buy anything off the wall unless you can get it online. Having a college there is nice but that is the local economy. It means that summers are going to be considerably different from winters, in terms of parking and lines, but also in terms of cultural stuff to do.
Columbia/Ellicott City (USA) -- dunno; I've been to SC but not there. SC can be very swampy in the summer.
Cary (USA - NC) -- listen to squinney; she's from around there.
Overland Park (USA - KS) -- listen to Rockhead; he's from around there.

It really depends on what you like and need. Culture? Good weather? Religious community? The ability to find a job? What sort of job (if applicable)? Etc. That seems like an almost random list of places. I can think of a dozen others of similar size so why did you pick those in particular?

Thanks for all the info peeps. America was the last country I want to live in on my list and now I don't think I want to live there anymore lol. I know there are good and bad things bout every place but I am totally put off moving their now. I don'yt want to live in a large city and as far as im aware the better cities in America are he bigger ones like Boson and NY (which I hate).

P.S im only 27 im not retiring yet

So what exactly are you looking for in a new place to live?

Boston is wonderful (as is Cambridge), and surpsisingly a lot of it is more suburban than a big city--much less concrete than most major cities around the world these days (tho the winter weather isn't great here either). We've got at least one of everything--tho NY may have 20 of everything.

Somewhere relxed and chill dout but at the same time somewhere I can go for a drink or out clubbing without finding aresholes.

I think anywhere you go out for a drink you're going to find assholes.

I grew up in the midwest in a suburb of St louis,Mo. I liked living in the smaller town but having access to the big city. However, the midwest doesn't offer the things that I enjoy. Now I live in a suburb of Seattle. There is something to do here during all the seasons. I'm 2 hours drive(considering snowy roads)from skiing, and the hiking possibilities are endless. Lots of bike trails and trendy little areas of town to grab a coffee in the afternoon or a quaint pub for a beer. Seattle has lots of clubs and different venues to listen to good music. 2 hours from the Canadian border and about 3 from Oregon. River rafting in the summer,fresh or saltwater fishing, backpacking, take a ferry up to the San Juans for whale watching.

Seattle is expensive and traffic sucks. But I love it here.

I'm with username on Boston but recognize that we both live there. I moved there after having lived in, heh, New York, for several years. It's a very livable, very walkable city. He's right about the 'burbs. I live in Brighton which is technically a part of the city (we vote for the mayor, etc.) but it is woodsy here. As in trees, squirrels, skunks, racoons, that sorta thing. Public transportation is a one-block walk away but if I wanted to go to Cambridge I'd hop on a bus. That stops right outside my front door, I kid you not. Salaries are good and there are more colleges and universities (and prepping schools for said universities) here than you can shake a stick at.

Another city you might be interested in is Philadelphia. It's also large but the inner area is another walkable place. Public transportation is pretty good. Prices aren't bad -- it's lower than in Boston. If Philly is outta the cards and you don't mind a 40-minute drive or train ride to clubs then move to Wilmington, Delaware, which is that far from Philly and, while a city, is very small. I have lived in all of these places and Wilmington is really a town -- it's just called a city because it's the largest collection of humans in Delaware. A lot of people don't know about it because of its size. And, yes, there are clubs in Wilmington -- there are clubs in every city and most towns in the US.

Cheers for all the info. Ill look into them all in detail if my list gets eaxhausted. But the US is the last place on my list at current.
