Good Places To Move

Hi all
I started a new job and have the ability to move out of state. I wanted to ask you all what is a good place to move for someone who is young and just out of college? I like sports and outdoors, and don't want to move to a big urban city. What are some thoughts on this?
Been a lurker for many years and wanted to get some good advice from yall here on TD! Thanks

Check out Granbury TX located about 50 miles SW of Fort Worth. Enjoy lakeside rural living, but only an hour away from restaurants, etc.

We could name 50 places if you would like.
Want to narrow things down for us?

I mean; Bentonville is giving 10k bonuses for remote workers to relocate to NWA. Lots of mountain biking, fishing, paddling, hiking and climbing in the area.
Bella Vista or Beaver Lake would give you lakeside with access to larger area.

Was thinking about places like Utah, Colorado, Texas, Tennessee, and Arkansas. I know this is broad but was just looking for any general ideas really. Want somewhere that the cost of living is affordable and there is things to do outdoors or sporting events to attend.

Texas:
Hill Country
Mabank/Gun Barrel City (Cedar Creek Reservoir)
Lake Whitney area
Granbury is a cute town but Lake Granbury isn’t as impressive as CCR or Whitney.
Aiken, SC (outside of Augusta)
St. George, UT
Flagstaff or Prescott, AZ

Front range of Colorado is the obvious choice for me if you want sports + outdoors. If you want more outdoors and less city life, you could probably do something in Leadville/Twin Lakes/Glenwood Springs? Depends on your definition of affordable as well.
SLC is good as well!

Middle Tennessee is great. Beautiful scenery, lots of places to hunt and fish, no state income tax, and people are very friendly.

Move to a big urban city while you’re young, get out your comfort zone. Your older self will thank you

Don't come to Tennessee. It's closed.

This. At least move somewhere with a big city close by, like Boulder, CO.

Greenville, SC.
The downtown area is great. Very close to the mountains for hiking and outdoor activities. Downtown is clean & fun with predominantly post grad age kids. Clemson is close by and there’s a hockey team & baseball team that has pretty good support.
ETA- lots of beautiful lakes nearby and only about 3.5 to Charleston/beach.

You have a Venn Diagram issue.

Bllingham Wa.

Wa
I would start looking at states with no income tax.
For instance, I have no idea about the city/town of Evanston, WY but I was looking around on maps and it's 75 min from Salt Lake and even closer to Park City if OP wants to learn to snow ski.
Wyoming has great hunting and no income tax.
Zillow shows 2 houses and a townhouse for sale under 200k.
Cheyenne, again I know nothing besides have driving through, but it's 2 hours from Denver. Median home price is higher.
Bellingham is very nice but it won't be cheap and not everyone can handle the rain.
I'll take cold over rain.
Spokane, WA has more sunshine and less rain but it's colder. It's a short drive to the beauty of the Idaho panhandle.
Plenty of outdoor activities within an hour in every direction of Spokane.

Sports and Outdoors interests usually results in selecting states in the 4 seasons zone.
This is where you actually get a spring, summer, fall, and winter. Instead of 2 summers, or 2 winters.
The relative band is something like:
SC/NC/Virginia, KY/Tn, AR/Mizz, KS/NB, WY/CO/UT, NV.
You obvioulsy can throw things in like Northern GA/AL, Tulsa, So. Idaho, etc.
Then, you can narrow your search down to places that are in decent driving distance to an airport or a few major cities.
If you are hardcore about winter sports, you'll gravitate more towards appalacia or rockies over midwest.
If you like camping, or farming, or fishing, or hunting.... all of those things shrink your options.
If you are married, or have kids, or are single... that changes things.
Where is your family?
Why not move around alot?
Travel?
It's really hard to pick a place for someone else because there are alot of variables.
When I start thinking of moving, I gravitate to Charlotte, Nashville, Tulsa/Springfield/Bentonville, Denver, and SLC.
(Well, there and the towns within an hour or two of there.)
You can almost draw a straight line on a map and hit them all.
