Moving to the US... but where?

[silverwex]

Not set in stone but over the past while Ive been thinking of having a good look at the US. Ive always wanted to visit/live there for some reason lol.

Cali looks like a real cool spot...

Whats it like there?

Accommodation/Rent?
Women?
People in general?
Jobs?

A nice hot sunny place is preferred - dont like the sound of NYC!

Thanks

I'd say San Diego, but then I noticed where you said "rent". It's probably the most expensive area in the nation, but damn if it isn't worth it.

 

[silverwex]

Tell me more metal...! What rent are we talking about, weekly/monthly?

Whats vista like?

I want somewhere near a beach and all that stuff.

 

[MetalFortress]

I live in a sub-1000 square foot apartment for 1100 dollars a month. It's in an area that's not especially luxurious but not especially run down. Vista is relatively boring but it is linked to almost every fun thing in SoCal. You can go to the beach, the dunes, the desert, Disneyland, the mountains, and the big city all in the same week, with none being too far out of the way. Vista is about 40 miles north of San Diego.

The people are friendly and laid back. The women are HOT. The party spots are many, especially in San Diego itself. There are tons of jobs out here, as well as entrepreneurial opportunities. If you are into clothing design at all, California is a trendsetting location, so get popular in San Diego (and then drive 100 miles north to Los Angeles and get popular there too) and you're on your way to riches.

Hey thanks for the info metal - appreciated.

I take it SoCal means Southern California?

Wow, $1100 dollars a month is real expensive - Dublin has a real bad name for accommodation prices and this seems just as much!

Lol, was just looking at a San Diego rental site and the least expensive apartments were $150... a DAY! lol

Even a holiday there for a week would be excellent as I hear the women there are the best! Better than what we got here anyway, haha.

 

[MetalFortress]

Yep SoCal is Southern Califoria.

Check out rental sites for Escondido, San Marcos, National City, Chula Vista, and San Ysidro. They are cheaper, but they are hit and miss as far as good/bad areas (Esco and Marcos are pretty good areas, but NC and CV are questionable).

Women are very hot here, especially in rich areas like Carlsbad and Torrey Pines.

Sounds great man, lucky you! lol

Will have a look at those areas you suggested. Cheers

Cali is really expensive. There are some good trends in US geography that you can capitalize on:
1. The more you go down South, the more people you find that are friendly. It works with women too LOL
2. The more you go down South, the cheaper the life is. Cali might be an exception though.

Never ever go to small cities that are far away from large ones.
You will find yourself stuck in the middle of nowhere.
So just go to big cities.

The Tampa Bay area is sunny and cheap. There is always something to do. afoaf has a fairly big 2/2 apt in a nice neighborhood for about $750/mo. There are quite a few Irish pubs, too.

Do NOT move to Northeast PA. Believe me it is a very nice place but most of the girls are complete @$$#0L3Z. I had to import to get an awesome girl for my LTR. of course, I was looking for an LTR.

I don't know what your looking for in women whether it be short or long term relationships or just STR's.

I always wanted to visit California but it is too damn expensive. Up here in NE PA I could get a 2 bedroom apartment for $400 a month or a house at less then $20,000

haha man im thinking about the same from time to time.....but you need a greencard even if your european dontya?

 

[Bible_Belt]

I think you get six months in the US on a visitors' visa. You can actually stay as long as you like, but to be legal you have to leave and re-enter the country every six months.

Yes I would say if you want cheap rent and nice people move down south somewhere. If you want high rent, more people, d8ckhead people, more buildings, night life, snow, etc then New England. If you want spaced out property, hot weather, not a lot to do then midwest. If you want it all including high rent then Southern Cali.

If you like having 4 seasons and don't mind a more rural area that still offers much of the culture, dining and convenience you would find in a city you should look into the Upper Valley area of New Hampshire. I just moved from that area back to my home state of Maine. My ex husband moved to Vermont and sort of ruined it for me.

Dartmouth College is in Hanover, NH. The median age for Hanover is 22 years old. It's considered the best small college town in the country. The job market is strong, very strong. Employers have to compete for employees so the pay is good and so are the benefits. To check out rentals and roommate situations go to www.dartmouthre.com to check it out.

The crime rate is practically non-existent and the area is beautiful. NH also has no sales tax or state income tax. There is a high percentage of very attractive people who take care of themselves. There are plenty of young people as well. For single people, housing isn't bad. However, for families, there just isn't a lot of reasonable rentals. For a single guy, it's a really good area. Plenty to do and lots of opportunity. I lived in a small town in Vermont built around a country club called Quechee. Rentals are expensive there, but if you rent a condo from Quechee Lakes you get use of the country club facilities which includes indoor and outdoor pool, fitness center, golf course, ski hill, and Lake Pinneo recreation facility (beach and picnic area).

The area is great if you like small towns with almost as much to offer as a city has.

Hanover epitomizes the blend of small town atmosphere, outdoor recreation and urban cultural opportunities. It scores high in entertainment, restaurants, book stores, information-oriented companies and support of its public library system.

As the late writer Michael Dorris (an adjunct professor at Dartmouth) wrote in 1996, "Hanover and its environs will probably make you dissatisfied and grumpy with wherever you live, because it's one of those rare spots about which tourists say 'A nice place to visit and I would want to live there.' "
