All the hippies on the east coast are trying to move to asheville. the cost of living is super high tho, at least compared to the rest of the SE. You should look into Boone nc. it's like a miniature, lesser known, cheaper asheville.

Maybe things have changed recently, but I live close by and have always known it to be expensive. I've met plenty of people in the carolinas who'd like to move therre but can't afford it.

I've thought of those places for sure. Aren't they a bit expensive? Do you live there?
Funny you'd say Oregon, given your username.
Portland is where young people go to retire, you can put a bird on it and call it art in Portland

Lion said: Hey Pubbers. I haven't posted here in a long time, but I've been mulling a move back to the USA after years living abroad, and I want to get some opinions on what city or area I should choose.
What's important to me is being able to be outdoors a lot, preferably with excellent hiking opportunities around. Indoor rock climbing gyms would be great. Nearby beaches with waves would be good too but you can't have everything.
Good local food (restaurants, pubs, and co-ops/organic food markets/farmers markets) and a vibrant local music scene would be lovely too.
Based on what you said I'd say Portland or Olympia. Definitely somewhere in Washington.
There are a lot of cities and small towns that are right along the ocean in Washington that would be a lot cheaper than Portland. You could probably find a decent place for a few hundred bucks a month.

pirate-blues said: Boulder seems like a really lovely place.
If you are open to the northeast(we have outdoor recreation too! and definitely have indoor rock climbing gyms, the largest indoor one on the east coast is right here in Philly, but I don't think Philly is what you're looking for - I think you'd probably love some of the smaller towns in SE PA like New Hope, or a city like Bethlehem which has a pretty good music scene and is under 100k in population but is close to NYC/Philly and close to the mountains) maybe take a look at Burlington, Vermont? Really lovely, forward thinking small city. The rents will be higher than the southeast, but lower than Denver and Boulder/Northern CA/any big city.
In the south I would recommend checking out Asheville, NC.
Asheville right now is my top choice. I'd never even thought about PA - I've been through Bethlehem but don't remember it well. There are a couple very small towns in PA I like, like New Oxford.
Bethlehem is really really nice nowadays. It definitely experienced a wave of gentrification and has a ton of stuff to do now that there wasn't when I used to live there.
Never been to New Oxford(or maybe I've passed through it) lots of neat little towns in the Southeast region of the state that are very artsy - new hope/doylestown(another recommendation) and bucks county in general is an absolutely beautiful place with a high emphasis on music and arts, but anywhere that's not shitty in PA has a slightly higher COL(but it's still less than most places in the Boston-Washington corridor).
I think Asheville is a good choice though, it's definitely popular and as such rents are definitely gonna be a bit on the higher side for the South but it's definitely a lower COL than most desireable/hip cities in the country.

Rent may generally be higher in the south, but way cheaper than nearly any city in the NE. Asheville is still probably cheaper than Nashville

There are music stores there where you can trade your CD's for cassettes and vinyl. It's rad.

Hey Lion!!!
I was thinking Asheville while reading the OP.
There are also some pretty good spots in the North East + a much more liberal/progressive vibe.
As cool as Asheville is, I personally wouldn't want to live anywhere in the US other than the North East or Pacific North West coasts.

Same here, though there's tons of other cool cities around the country I could see myself in too, those two regions just really vibe with me though.

I do not recommend Long Beach based on what he said. Too far from nature, it's a dirty filthy city, the only thing it has is the beach which is also polluted and dirty.
Also he mentioned Portland being too expensive, there's no way he could afford Long Beach or anywhere along the coast in California then.

Check out Sebastopol, CA.
Hip spot close to a large enough Nor Cal city for a job market (Santa Rosa). Only 30 min from the beach. Hiking and coop farms everywhere. Rent is cheap compared to everywhere else around here in California.

I live in the PNW and have lived all over the US. If I was single and wanted to live in the united states I would live on the big Island of Hawaii. Cheap rent, lots to explore, tons of ladies looking for D, and it's not too small like the other islands.. I found work there within the first week so it can be done.

Hey man I don't know when you last went but they've cleaned the fuck out of long beach lately. At least there's not syringes all over the beach, LOL. I actually fucking love the shit out of Long Beach. It's probably the realest city in socal. I want to move back there. But seriously they have been cleaning the place up its a lot nicer than it used to be. Yeah I wouldn't go swimming in the ocean there... but just go 10-15 miles south or north... no big deal. LB is awesome as fuck. It's got character and culture out the ass and its centrally located. There's nature to find..
