The cost of living is up, prompting a growing number of Americans to flee big cities and opt for small-town life instead. A tiny, tight-knit community might seem like heaven to those who want a slower pace of life, but that doesn’t mean that smaller towns are sleepy, cultural wastelands. Many towns across the country offer the same top-notch amenities found in larger cities—they just come with a more laid-back, know-your-neighbors vibe at an affordable price tag.

Jim Thorpe is a nightmare during the Autumn leaf season. Traffic practically comes to a standstill around the train station.
I didn’t see Springfield Ohio on the list. Seems a bit odd.
Natchez, MS is one of the best kept secrets with gorgeous properties for pennies on the dollar, growing businesses, river beauty, and history.
As bad as Springfield, illannoy?
Union government f’d it up awhile back.
The small town in N.J. was a great place to live, then the democrats import the dregs of purto rico. The I left, the crime rate was just to much.
Fairbanks is nice... in the summer.
No thanks. Freeze your butt in any of them in the winter. Snow, cold and advancing age don’t mix!
Is what is left of Atlantic City worth living in?
What the NY Post calls a small town ranks as a big city where I’m from (now).
That’s ‘cause the water is flammable there.
What’s the tornado situation like there?
It’s not necessarily the snow, I’m betting, for most of these places. It’s more the fact that winter lasts for more than 6 months.
I consider small to be no more than 15,000.
Glens Falls if you like the outdoors…but they have cold winters…great for boating and snowmobiling…
“Kearney”
How do Nebraska locals pronounce that?
In New Jersey, we have a municipality by the name of “Kearny”.
This Guy grew up hearing the “ear” part of the town name “Kearny” pronounced: 1) in the same way as it sounds in the word “heart”. Or like a pirate saying “Arrrrrrrr”.
Some current residents of Kearny, mostly recent Hispanic immigrants, pronounce the “ear” part: 2) in the same way as it sounds in the word “learn”.
Some others pronounce the “ear” part: 3) in the same way as it sounds in the word “fear”.
Still others pronounce the “ear” part: 4) in the same way as it sounds in the word “tear” (as in, what Nancy Pelosi famously did to a copy Trump’s State of the Union speech, and NOT the thing that fell in great quantity from Hillary’s eyes when Trump beat the pantsuit off off her in the 2016 race for POTUS).
According to the following micro-video, pronunciation #1 is how the Irish pronounce it:

I hear Traverse City MI is nice if you can take cold winters.
“Zero southern locations listed…”
And we here in the south are comfortable with that; those towns listed in the article are places where people should go. Living in TN is pretty terrible. Pass it on.
How about Baltic Avenue? I heard that the property is cheap there.
Sounds like they just tossed names into a hat and pulled out 10 of them. The Ozarks and Adirondacks are nice and so is Montana, but I don’t think they really know what they are talking about. Every day, MSN features places you should be visiting or living, so there’s a lot of demand for junk like this.
