Cherry Hill, Southern New Jersey (Almost Philadelphia), USA
Pros: Weather is not too extreme compared to some other parts of the country. Summer gets hot but not Florida hot. Winter gets cold but not North Dakota cold. Risk of hurricanes/tornadoes is low (yes we did have Hurricane Sandy in NJ). Southern part of NJ is usually nicer in terms of greenery, infrastructure compared to North NJ. Proximity to NY, DC. Amazing food options and very diverse communities bringing all types of people together. We have the best Pizza (yes better than NY I would say). Great Schools. An average NJ school is better than a good school in FL for example. Good healthcare options (access wise). We also have great beaches, mountains, rivers and what not. Full package.
Cons: Property taxes is killer. We are like Top 3 in the nation. Generally high cost of living. Not great for retirees. Thats why older people usually move out of NJ if they can. Very car dependent (but thats most of USA suburbs anway).
