I'll make it 2 for Tennessee, but I say Hendersonville, a great suburb of Nashville- about 20 miles north. Great schools, shopping, neighborhoods, parks, on a huge lake, nice restaurants, great people, lower cost of living than the national average, no state tax, close enough to the city to take advantage of an unlimited array of amenities including Museums, symphony, ballet, live theater, hiking trails, more fab parks, loads of historical places to visit. We also have great weather with 4 distinct seasons. I have a nice home in a nice quiet neighborhood with 3/4 acre of grass dotted with huge trees- we fenced it for our 2 large dogs (who love to run all over the space)- under 200K! Good Luck- we moved here 7 years ago so my grandson would grow up in a smaller town atmosphere- now I have 3 grands here and we all love it so much. This is HOME!

Pardon Moise:

Do you want to move across country, due with twins? Sounds like needless work. You didn't say where point A was. Point B should not take too much looking. In america you live in a buyers market. Good4U. With some amount of research you should be able to find a destination.

Anywhere in Ventura County CA is nice. Close to LA and Ventura still nice suburbs. Check out TheWeilandTeam.com for someone that can help you decide.

To make your life simpler but more enriched and better for the environment and your family's health:  move to a place with a walking community with excellent public transportation.

You will do more and see more than shuffling off to the f***ing walmart in your massive SUV every single week or soulless strip malls with sad souls.

I'd try a big old Victorian home in Narberth, PA so can have Philly's culture by walking to the R-5 septa train line, but your own suburby life in peace.

I know you aren't making major life decisions through yahoo answers, (godforbid), but check out some maps, etc.  It truly is a great little place.
