Best Southern State/City To Live In?
Posted on 4/30/14 at 4:01 pm

Approaching graduating from the University of Tennessee and will probably have the opportunity to live in multiple places. I've already decided that I want to stay below the Mason Dixon Line.
Your SEC school allegiance put aside, what Southern state would you most desire to live in and what part?
I could picture myself living in Nashville, TN. Classic Southern city with a unique culture and it is booming right now in every facet of life. Really the whole State is beautiful geographically minus the Memphis area. Plus I can get my fill of pro sports and I'll only have to deal with cold weather for maybe three months of the year. Plus no income tax in TN (but a 9.25 % sales tax).
Atlanta intrigues me as well if I got the right job opportunity. I grew up on ATL baseball so I would love to get some Braves season tickets, especially since they are getting a new park away from the congested downtown area. But honest to God the traffic and volume scares me about ATL.
Also, I think Charlotte, NC is a great place as well. It's a pretty area that's not too hectic. Beach isn't too far away either. The thought of being forced to follow ACC Hoops, Cam Newtown and Michael Jordan playing pretend owner is definitely a con though.
What say you guys? Best place in general in the South to live and raise a family?

Charlotte has just as many SEC followers as ACC followers bro.

Charleston or savannah,
yes both have their "Urban" areas, but both have some nice areas to live too, close to the coast and gorgeous
ill never leave LA because i love it here
but if i did, it would be one of those 2 places

At this point I basically live in NOLA and Asheville. Permanent residence in NOLA. In about another year I'll be making a decision about which one will become home permanently, but it's a hard call. Both have a lot of good aspects.

Houston or Dallas. Both economies are in full boom. You will not find a better standard of living vs cost of living in the world.
