New Location Prereqs

What we’re looking for in our new location/city:
-Close distance to outdoor activities such as backpacking (mountains) and good running trails
-Bike-friendly
-Cool downtown area
-Good job market (big enough place where non-service industry jobs are available. We want to have careers, and not just jobs)
-A diverse area in terms of people, industries and things to do
-Inexpensive cost of living (We’d like to buy a house that has a yard and 4 bedrooms for under $300k)
-Good weather
-pedestrian friendly

We know we can't have it all, and some things are more important than others. This is our dream list :)

If you have any suggestions that aren’t on our list, let us know! We’ll look into adding it to our list.
