With a population a bit over 300,000 and the average monthly rent being well below $1000 ($859 average) this city in the US has potential to fulfill everyone’s needs. With the average age of each registered resident being around 40 years old the “party” life isn’t at the forefront, however with 2 college campuses there is still room for young “people/families”. Lastly, with the unemployment rate at 6.2% and an average salary of approximately $50,000, there are many opportunities to not only make money but also become more financially dependent.

The Triangle (Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill) though ranking third on this list, this has been one of the most diverse, family friendly areas which implores a multitude of cuisines and a growing entertainment district (200 plus parks, museums, restaurants, and sports venues) this city covers everything for all ages and cultures.
