Where People Are Moving—and Why North Carolina isn’t a secret anymore—it’s one of the fastest-growing states in the U.S. Thanks to its affordable cost of living (compared to the Northeast and West Coast), strong job market, purple-ish political climate, cool mix of mountains, beaches, and buzzing midsize cities (the true secret to North Carolina success), more people are packing up and heading South.

Jack is set to retire from his management consulting firm in the next few years. Having spent fortunes on college educations for their twins, they want to buy a place somewhat affordable that’s not totally out of the loop. San Francisco and Los Angeles are out because they’re too expensive, and they don’t ev
Spotlight Small Town: Los Olivos

This 2.5 square mile town is just north of Santa Barbara in the Santa Ynez Valley and its old west charm is home to many wineries (and tasting rooms), restaurants, bars, and local farm kitchens (and once home to the infamous Neverland Ranch.) Historically, it’s been a place for weekend getaways, but SoCal empty nesters and families are quite taken with the idea of putting down roots here.

College towns are magical places that make sense for all sorts of different people, perhaps more than any other type of city. Kids love ‘em., families love ‘em, empty nesters and retirees love ‘em. This is why college towns like Ann Arbor, Madison, Chapel Hill, and more, frequently rank at the top of the list for most livable cities in the entire U.S.A. Here are some of the things we love about them: 1. They are the original 15-minute city. No college (other than commuter schools) wants th
