My husband and I work from home. We have actually been calculating this for years, trying to find the best balance of quality of life. We put it all into an excel spreadsheet and crunched the numbers. Using many items like good schools, house prices, tax liability, parks, crime, weather and job growth, we finally found what we consider the best areas of the country to live.
If you use CNN Money as a reference for the Best Places to Live, they have a yearly count of 100 places. This is nice for statistics, however many of the places on the list are not cheap by any means. We have used our own criteria to come up with a list that suites our lifestyle.
In no particular order:
-Fishers, Indiana
-Williamson County, Tennessee
-Wake Forest, North Carolina
-Fort Worth, Texas
The above listed places have both low taxes, low home costs and job growth. They have nice amenities in the cities and happy families who don't have to live on such a tight budget.
