of forests if you're looking for more of a big city life consider number seven Houston Texas now Houston has a booming economy impressive job opportunities a big City Vibe and a population that has roots in all corners of the globe and if you're a foodie you'll find this city as a culinary delight now Texans love the fact that there's no state income tax but the local government does make up for that fact with higher than average property tax and some residents like to complain about that now the average home costs $446,000 while warmer weather year round will let you enjoy the outdoors season just a little bit longer just remember that last summer Houston logged 45 days of triple digit temps now Texans love their sports team and you better believe that because they rally around the Houston Astros the NBA Rockets the Cyber cats rugby team and also the Texans football teams so number six on our list is Greenville South Carolina now interesting fact about South Carolina is it's becoming quickly one of the most desirable places to live in the United States and on this list we have two towns from South Carolina where everyone is moving in 2024 so the City of Greenville South Carolina is undergone a transformation in recent years and residents are reaping those benefits everything from affordable cost of living to excellent job market and a vibrant Downtown Greenville really does have it all now the area has a thriving job market with opportunities in healthcare Technology and Manufacturing and companies such as BMW Michelin and General Electric all have

Chesapeake Bay and Salsbury area is a popular destination for retirees who like the Mid-Atlantic area but they want to get away from the Baltimore Washington DC Rat Race now the cost of living in Salsbury is 77th highest out of 273 cities across the US so it's certainly not the least expensive place on our list but it does have a interesting Dynamic it's a Melting Pot of college students retirees and families who can all be seen together enjoying a Saturday night at a micro Brewery or watching the Del Marva Shorebirds which is a local minor league baseball team but if you're looking for larger City culture check out number four Raleigh doram now this area features a Southern Charm but with the hustling bustling big City amenities and a strong economy with an abundance of jobs and it's home to the Research Triangle Park which is the largest Research Park in the US and home to hundreds of companies in the Science and Technology field now the downtown area is very walkable and

the cost of living is higher than the rest of North Carolina and 2.4% higher than the average cost of living in the US and the average costs are of a home are $431,000 but the year- round weather is perfect for those outdoor activities even with its humid Summers but if you're looking for an escape and you like that beach Vibe check out number three on our list Fort Meers Florida now the question is for you guess what number one state is where people are moving to now if you guess Florida you're correct now Fort Myers Florida has experienced 11.3% population growth and it's not just the beach access and the great restaurants and the warm weather now one big reason many choose to relocate to the Sunshine State is the lack of state income tax but no one said it's cheap to live in Florida because Fort marrier housing costs are 18% higher than the national average and utility prices are 3% higher gas prices are 8% higher and grocery prices are 8% higher than the national average there's also that dark and dangerous side to Florida I talked about earlier and many people who have recently moved here have finding out the hard way that not just as easy to live there as it used to be and it's not just a devastating hurricane damage but it's the skyrocketing cost of homeowners insurance in Florida the higher property tax for these new residents moving in the higher car insurance costs and are the other nickel and DME fees that are making it difficult to retire in Florida so they're considering other options outside of Florida places like number two Franklin Tennessee now the cost of living in Franklin is 2% lower than the national average and utilities are 11% less and groceries are 2% less than a national average now Franklin is more expensive than the rest of the state now this is due to the higher home prices which average $752,000 but I'm going to tell you that could be because Amazon Nissan Mitsubishi Alliance Bernstein eyy smile direct and pilot have all brought new jobs there's 10,000 new jobs in the area and the weather in Franklin is desirable due to mild Winters and warm sunners and there's plenty of sunshine throughout the year you know locals enjoy the the park and the many restaurants with everything from that good southern food to refin dishes and it truly is something for everyone and there's 16 blocks of a historic downtown that are on the national register and it's a known hub for live music including the historic Franklin theater but if you're looking for the number one spot on the list check out why people are moving to Myrtle Beach South Carolina now US News and World Report has ranked Myrtle Beach South Carolina is the number one fastest growing area in the nation for the third year in a row and there is a reason now the cost of living in the Myrtle Beach area also known as the Grand Strand is 8% lower than the national average and the cost of living in this area is 30% lower than living in places like Fort Lauderdale Florida and it's 78% lower than living in places like Brooklyn New York with a median home cost in Myrtle Beach area $360,000 but it's not just the affordable lifestyle that people like it's the moderate weather and moderate temperatures year round it's the 1,700 restaurant choices it's the Fantastic wide white sand beaches and plenty of fun and exciting things to do year round from festivals to live shows to museums and shopping now now comparing natural disasters there are some hurricane statistics here so Florida is the number one state for Hurricane with 125 major storms now you compare that with the state of South Carolina which only has 30 hurricanes in the last 1070 years and that could be one reason why so many residents love the area retirees enjoy the fact that South Carolina does not tax Social Security retirement benefits and it also provides $115,000 of taxable income deduction for seniors receiving any other type of retirement income now healthc care is also ranked excellent with five large hospitals in the Myrtle Beach area and it doesn't hurt that the Grand Strand Hospital is ranked number seven Heart Hospital in the nation now residents also profit from the
