Need Advice on Where to Move for Warm Weather (srs)

I think I'm done with snow, shoveling, snow blowing, slush, driving on icy roads, and all that other crap. It's time to think about relocating. Miscers who live in warm weather states, what are the plusses and minuses of where you live?

Places I'd consider moving to:
Arizona (Phoenix, Tuscon)
Carolinas (never been to this region much)
Colorado (western or southern, Grand Junction, etc.)
Florida (upper half)
Nevada (Vegas / Henderson)
Texas (Austin? San Antonio?)

EDIT: A high number of sunny days per year would be a BIG plus. Rain is okay, as long as it blows in and out, and doesn't stick around for days on end.

The above is not an all-inclusive list. Not really interested in California. The weather might be nice, but housing / cost of living would be a no-go.


Serious replies / discussion only.

I found that if you have a goal, you might not reach it. But if you don't have one, then you are never disappointed. And I gotta tell ya, it feels phenomenal.

Florida crew checking in. Sunny and awesome most of the year. Beautiful, tons of watersports etc. The cold bothered me in Chicago but the DARK is what bothered me most. It's in the 40s here today but it's Sunny and rad out, I'll take it.

Other pros: affordable, no state taxes, state government does a pretty good job and we have a balanced budget

Cons: flattest state in the union. I like to hike and mountain climb, rock climb etc, can't do any of those here. If I could move to the Carolinas that'd be a big pro to me personally.

Good question. I've thought about someplace like Australia too, but not sure I'd seriously consider moving out of the country. I think I'd wind up finding more disadvantages than advantages to doing so.

But never say never I guess.

Pros - Friendly people. Great food. Beaches, mountains, and swampland for all your nature needs. Plenty of outdoor activities. Mild winters. Peaceful. No SJW's outside of college campuses.

Cons - Humid summers. "Slower" lifestyle. Not much nightlife if that's your thing.

Well, western CO like Grand Junction does get cold but not a lot of snow. So even if not warm in the winter, I'd consider anywhere that doesn't get a lot of snow as a major bonus.

Where are you in Florida? What are the summers really like?

The state being flat doesn't bother me much, but it's the kind of stuff I have to think about too. You don't know what you don't know until you've lived somewhere.

If you're going to NV, stay out of Vegas/Henderson, I would go with Reno and it's booming outskirt towns i.e. Dayton, Carson City etc as lots of CA manufacturers are moving out there within the next few years.

i live in central NC and i really like it here

pros:
- decent cost of living
- significantly warmer weather than up north (we pretty much never get snow) but we get all four seasons
- plenty of jobs (especially in STEM)
- only a couple of hours away from both the appalachian mountains and the beach
- racially diverse, with a good mix of southern and northern cultures

cons:
- cost of living is going up quite a bit, thanks to rising real estate prices
- it still gets cold every now and then so it's not like it's warm year-round
- bad/slow drivers
- no "big city" feel, if that's what you're into

There's definitely a reason that so many people move to Florida to retire and what not. The weather is awesome for most of the year. I do worry about the summers though. Generally I prefer dry heat like out west.

What are the "good" and "bad" places to live? IME, every region has places that are great (college towns, often) but other places where there are no jobs, lots of crime, etc.

I think I could take a few months of hot / humid as a trade off for cold / snow, but if I'm just going from one annoying type of weather to another it might not be much of a tradeoff.

This is accurate as fuk

I get so depressed this time of year. Without fail, I go through some really difficult times. Go to work and it's dark, get off work and it's dark again. Just horrible

OP there are a lot of people I grew up with that moved to Phoenix. They all seem to like it, but my ******** page is full of bitching when it's over 100F for a few months straights. I don't think I could take that kind of heat

You'll get snow in CO, but if you are on the "slopes" (eastern like Denver or western like Grand Junction) you get a lot less than people think. West slope tends to get less snow that east slope. It also tends to melt pretty fast and it's rare that you have days upon days of shoveling and crappy roads. However . . . it DOES happen. Some years it's not often and some years it's worse.

Outside of the mountain areas, CO is pretty mild and winters aren't anything like back east or the midwest. It's a great place to live for outdoor activities, having the mountains when you want to go there, etc. Real estate is pretty crazy in large cities.

But if you literally NEVER or very rarely want to deal with snow, then CO wouldn't be your kind of place most likely.

lmao @ you if think those places are even in the same ball park of warm as cali or florida

south florida is goat op, the environment down there is incredible, people are great and it just feels like an extremely happy place compared to anywhere else i've been. Everyone is super friendly and it never gets cold. West palm and Miami are definitely worth checking out imo and would be the first place i'd move given the opportunity

I've heard good things about Reno, but have never been there to know what the weather or "culture" is like. I'm not sure having an influx of Californians is a good thing though. it tends to drive up prices and change the political landscape (not that I want to bring politics into this).

Good info. Thanks.

I am not a fan of cities, but I do like to have places to eat / shop / hang out. It would be nice to be able to just walk out of my house and get to restaurants on foot. But I think you can find places to do that everywhere.

I was going to suggest sandiego since that’s the one place I’ve heard has consistently nice weather... I personally live in miami but it gets too hot during the summer and although it’s still a decent temperature , I’m currently wearing a heavy winter jacket lol. It was snowing in northern Florida from what I heard, so if you’re looking for pretty consistent warm weather you would have to stick to the most southern locations in the US. I personally love Texas, I don’t think I saw that in your OP but the people are friendly af and really welcome people into their lives... only place I’ve ever lived where people just bonded and loved each other..

Charleston and Columbia are both great and in the middle of the state. Charleston was even voted as the nicest city in the US. I live further south in the boonies, and crime has never been an issue outside of the occasional burglary, but that mainly happens in the ghetto. Every murder that I've known of has always been drug related, and I've never not felt safe.

forgot to mention that summers here, while not ridiculously hot, can be really humid. there's definitely plenty of places to eat/shop/hang out and plenty of things to do, but they might not always be within walking distance depending on where you live

I've been to Grand Junction, cool area for outdoor adventure. I'm like you, the cold doesn't bother me so long as it's sunny and nice out.

I live about 15 mins north of Naples, so I'm very far down the west coast.

It's sort of the opposite of up north, summer is the least pleasant time of year bc it's very hot and humid. But I work indoors in AC so it doesn't bother me, and again, I'd rather have hot and sunny out than cold and dreary. Take the dogs to the beach with a cooler and enjoy.

It rains for 30 mins every afternoon during the rainy season. That's the tropics for you.

I spent some time in the Outer Banks in NC. It's by Kitty Hawk so right on the coast. Could definitely live there. We went in the winter and it was cool, maybe mid 50s. Basically how I imagine a less trashy version of Jersey Shore. Lots of dive bars and such.

Atlanta (technically slightly north of it, you don't want to live in Atlanta if you can help it really).

Beaches close enough to visit. Good hiking in North Georgia. Big lake for boating near by. Even skiing is semi close in NC, though it's poverty slopes but still close enough to drive.

Gets cold January and February but I'd say the rest of the year isn't really cold. It does get hot in the summer, July and August in particular. You get enough of a seasonal change that you feel like you still have seasons rather than summer all year round like Florida or Southern Cali

So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

Yeah in summer it rains every day here, but it's a half hour to an hour in the mid afternoon. Easy to plan around if you want to do the beach etc.

I'm definitely "solar powered". I should have mentioned that abundant sunny days would be a BIG plus for me. I don't like clouds and rain all the time. I travel out west (CO, UT, AZ) a lot in the summer and that dry heat doesn't bother me at all. I haven't been to Phoenix though, and I do worry that what's nice in small amounts could get annoying after a full summer of 100+ weather.

Outside of the mountain areas, CO is pretty mild and winters aren't anything like back east or the midwest. It's a great place to live for outdoor activities, having the mountains when you want to go there, etc. Real estate is pretty crazy in large cities.

But if you literally NEVER or very rarely want to deal with snow, then CO wouldn't be your kind of place most likely.
I can deal with a little snow. I'd prefer it's just the occasional 1-3 inches and melts quickly though. Snowfalls of 3-12 inches and then sticking around for weeks on end is a NO-GO.

I like CO a lot, and really like Grand Junction. Seems big enough to have access to things like a Home Depot, Movies, Breweries, Restaurants but still small enough that you don't have to fight traffic. No idea what it would be like to actually live there though.

Gets cold January and February but I'd say the rest of the year isn't really cold. It does get hot in the summer, July and August in particular. You get enough of a seasonal change that you feel like you still have seasons rather than summer all year round like Florida or Southern Cali
ehhh I wouldn't say the beaches are close, Atl is an incredible place especially if you're big into music and work in the tech field but the closest beach that you'd want to go to would be tybee or hilton head which are about 4hrs away. If you do want to go to one of the beaches in ga Jekyll is hands down my favorite because the washed up trees are fckin awesome

It's sort of the opposite of up north, summer is the least pleasant time of year bc it's very hot and humid. But I work indoors in AC so it doesn't bother me, and again, I'd rather have hot and sunny out than cold and dreary. Take the dogs to the beach with a cooler and enjoy.

It rains for 30 mins every afternoon during the rainy season. That's the tropics for you.
Rain for a half hour and then done is perfect. That wouldn't bother me at all. Here, when it rains, it gets cloudy for two days before hand, rains for 3 days straight, then stays cloudy for a couple more. Fuk that.

Yeah, cold is okay as long as it's sunny and not much snow. But I also figure I could take hot summers okay as long as the humidity isn't out of control. If it was hot AND humid, then I'd want to be sitting by the pool all day with a margarita in hand.

Good weather, beaches, nature year round and housing prices haven’t blown up (yet) like in California, Monaco etc

It was snowing in northern Florida from what I heard, so if you’re looking for pretty consistent warm weather you would have to stick to the most southern locations in the US. I personally love Texas, I don’t think I saw that in your OP but the people are friendly af and really welcome people into their lives... only place I’ve ever lived where people just bonded and loved each other..
Not gonna lie. San Diego would be what I would consider perfect weather. Now just give me that somewhere that's not expensive and crowded.

Texas...I hear so many conflicting things. Some people say it's great, decent weather and nice people. Then others say it's nothing but a flat, dry dust bowl with annoying summers and winters that aren't warm enough to make the summer worth putting up with.

It's just so FAR from everywhere else. Except NZ and Fiji of course. And yeah, housing prices might not be high (by your standards), but the cost of everything else seems to be very high compared to here.
