Looking for suggestions for a place to move in the US as a remote employee (lemmy.ml)

So the work I do is 100% remote now. I moved to Southern California because of an industry that has in part moved to remote work. My only requirements are a temperate climate, nature access and hopefully a blue-ish state. Is there a place out there that makes sense financially? I’m hoping to buy a house less then 500k. I don’t need access to large cities as I honestly don’t do anything. The only requirement I can think of is access to solid internet as I stream full screen video for what I do.

I’m currently looking at Michigan and Virginia as options.

Michigan definitely gets cold if you’re north. Places like Holland, MI seem a bit warmer

Shitload of snow too though, but that is all of Michigan

I don’t mind a bit of snow, especially considering I don’t commute or go anywhere

If you don't mind the snow, I can strongly recommend south east Michigan. I love it here. You could get a nice home with a large yard, especially if you go a little more rural. You are also likely going to be within an hour of DTW airport, which is a delta hub so you can fly to a lot of places direct.

Take a look at Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, and Ferndale.

Thanks! Really feeling Michigan as an option
