Durham–Chapel Hill, North Carolina

This city has three of the biggest universities in the country: Duke University, North Carolina State University, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Living in a city with three of the biggest universities in America comes with its perks: you’ll have the option to attend all kinds of events and audit courses at premier universities.

Also, you’ll have access to health care at Duke University Hospital and the University of North Carolina Hospitals. Renting a condo here costs somewhere around $838 a month, while owning a home in Durham-Chapel costs $457 per month for those who are mortgage-free and $1,334 for those who still have to pay a mortgage in their retirement.

    I live in SWFL and see a large influx of people coming in, it is straining resources. Sarasota is growing UP with a lot of tall buildings so even more people are moving into that space going up and out. It’s always a good idea to check the local resources, quality of water and pros and cons before committing. I’ve been in Florida since 1988 and it’s not slow and easy anymore. So many more people adds cars, traffic, more animal casualties and more pollution. Less wide open spaces to roam.

    I live in Florida and it is still slow and easy if you move into the right smaller cities and rural
    areas. There are some great small towns close by to larger areas. Prices are lower, traffic is
    not a problem and local governments work for the residents.

    Consider small cities as Mulberry, Bartow, Fort Meade, Dade City, Lake City, Plant City,
    Cedar Key, Wauchula, Sebring, Lake Placid, and many others. Many of these small towns
    have a good quality of living. Florida living does not necessarily meaning the “household
    name” communities.
