Not a state, but Pensacola is very underrated.

South Carolina
South Carolina has been a top destination for movers for awhile now. Seems like the secret is out and it is appropriate rated now. I think it was in the top 5 for % pop growth this past year.
It's overrun by Ohioans.

I've always liked Kentucky, especially the western half
My in-laws moved to Hopkinsville about 3 years ago. Land Between The Lakes, Lake Beshear, Pennyrile Park, Paducah, and Madisonville are all cool spots that we've been to.

I’ve always liked southern Indiana. Don’t really care or have a feel for the rest of the state but I’ve always liked the southern part.

Northwest Arkansas and Tennessee everywhere except for Memphis. Mississippi outside of Jackson. Upstate New York.

Southern Indiana is really under the radar. Dirt cheap. 85% white. Low crime rates. Good education. A culture that borrows the best from the South and Midwest but leaves the worst. Four seasons without the weather extremes you see further north (cold) and south (hot). Tons of park land. It lacks big city amenities but Louisville, Indianapolis and Cincinnati are not too far away.
I stayed at a resort up there called the West Baden Springs Hotel. The atrium in this place was the 8th wonder of the world until the Astrodome was built.

Ironic because currently the city is debating on how to preserve the astrodome. I always thought a hotel/conference center similar to this would be perfect.
Would be a very expensive and long project but the end result would be spectacular and on everyone’s hotel bucket list when in Houston.

New Jersey is underrated. It gets tagged with the Newark/Jersey Shore tropes, but it has lots of nice coastline, forests, mountains and farm country. Despite being small, it is still pretty open with lots of areas that are basically wilderness.

For business, Mississippi is vastly underrated. It's the most business friendly state there is for manufacturing

First thing to come to my mind.
Tennessee probably doesn't get the credit it deserves, either.

I’ve always thought Alabama was mostly a pretty state. Birmingham kind of reminds me of Little Rock.

You must not get around much. There’s just as much backwoods rednecks in NC as any other southern state.
I get around a good bit. In Charlotte right now and man it sure doesnt look like Shreveport, or Monroe, or Alexandria. They actually have nice stores and nice restaurants and there is not a 1st Baptist Church every 90 feet.

quote:Wow, just spent the better part of an hour reading about the history of this place, and it's officially on my bucket list. I absolutely love these immense, grand, turn-of-the-century resorts that you find in seemingly unlikely places from when people were more limited in long distance travel for vacations.
I stayed at a resort up there called the West Baden Springs Hotel. The atrium in this place was the 8th wonder of the world until the Astrodome was built.
There's a special solitary beauty and a touch of sadness in the incredible love and workmanship put into these places only to be mostly abandoned and forgotten as places like Orlando and Vegas took their place as favored vacation destinations.
Like a once beautiful young movie starlet, who still holds onto her grace and elegance into old age. Forgotten, and long replaced by younger 'sexier' women, you can still see some of the beauty that once caught the eye of the world underneath her wrinkles and lines.

Arkansas is underrated. It’s a laughingstock of the country but there’s parts of it that are pretty sweet.
I lived in NW Arkansas for a summer. AMAZING outdoors, I would not want to live there during the winter.

Why there?
Politics there don’t matter. What happens in Augusta and Concord don’t really affect you. NH is pretty libertarian other than their alcohol laws. I saw my first and only Marianne Williamson, Vivek, and RFK signs driving between Portland ME and the White Mountains.
Beautiful little towns where you’re surrounded by nature. All the downtowns look like a Hallmark movie. Low crime. Decent education. Not hot as balls summers. I can handle the cold.
I liked Portsmouth, Manchester, Portland, Augusta, etc fine, but their ridiculousness didn’t spread to the more rural areas.
