What are things you look for when moving to a new city?

Enough nightlife and entertainment to go to on weekends, and outdoor activities close to hills, lakes, oceans and/or mountains.

Major airport close by with plenty of cheap flight back home.

Educated population, which leads to better areas, more businesses locating there.

Low property tax and insurance rates

The quality of the schools tells you everything about the area.

I'm thinking about moving to Alexandria because of the surplus of date night restaurants where I can wear camo cargo pants, order a $13 steak dinner, and throw peanuts on the floor.

Proximity to strip clubs and massage parlors.

Depends on your age, children, their ages, where family lives, what’s your job situations, will she or you be stay at home, how much money do you have for discretionary spending, how much you have saved for retirement, are you all outdoors people, do you eat out a lot, do you care about having a lot or little friends, etc....there’s a lot to consider before figuring out a place that suits you best. So we can’t know what you’re missing....

Close enough to a good city to hit that scene when necessary, but far enough away to get a lot of land.
