Northern Mexico. Do not laugh. A lot of people are moving there.

On the other hand, western parts of Virginia and North Carolina are nice.

If you want low taxes and some snow during the winter, southern NH is fantastic.

If you can stand slightly higher taxes, less snow and the crazy K twins (Kerry & Kennedy), move to the historically rich Boston area. That is especially true if you want to go back to college for anything. No better concentration of higher education in the world. Also, if you get sick, there is no better concentration of top notch hospitals anywhere in the world. My real estate taxes are less than $5K for a 1/2 million value.

Of course, if you are a sports nut ...
Red Sox Nation
Patriots
The Boston Marathon
BC Hockey won the Frozen Four this year
Revolution soccer team came in second this year
Bruins (Ugh), but getting better. Took Montreal to 7 games before losing.

The Atlantic Ocean is nice too.
