Comments on: How to Find the Perfect City to Live In

on 3/5/2008 Remeber To Think Of Where You Plan On Being In Your Life 5, 10 Even 15 Years From Now. Is It Important To You That You Raise Your Kids Around Museums? What About Easily Thought Over Laws & Regulations, Is It Important To You That You Can Own Any Dog Breed You Want? What About Vaccination Exemptions? (Some Places Make It Really Hard To Get Them) A Good Sized Religious Community? Do You Want To Live Some Where Religious? Liberal? Conservative? Also Look At The Medium Age Of Your New Towns General Population & Crime Rates. Look At Property Taxes & Values Have They Changed In The Past 5, 10, 20+ Years? How So? How Much Rain Do You Enjoy? Even Something Like Finding A Specialty Store In Your New Area Can Make Your Quality Of Life That Much Better.

on 10/6/2006 Great tips! Visiting the prospect hometown makes a difference. You'll be surprise what little things you are use to and looking for in a hometown. I've thought I found the perfect place and after visiting I've been disappointed. Two sites that helps are 1) www.findyourspot.com and 2) www.greatschools.net Also, doing an internet search for the city's census gives you a glimpse of demographics for that town. If you have school age children you may also want to get in the city's school website. It will give useful information and you will find out about the programs provided. I hope this extra tips help. Good luck relocating!
