If you’ve been considering moving to the American South from any other region of the country, or even from another country entirely, you might be a little stuck on where to move to.
It isn’t exactly a small and self-contained region. The South is a massive expanse with plenty of its own little sub-regions and cultures that go along with them.
Maybe you have chosen the South for its warmth during the winter, or the friendly and polite way of life, or the music, food, and entertainment.
Whatever your reasoning, the South is ready to welcome you. But if your question is still, “Which regions are best?” then we want to help you out.
Here are a few great Southern cities where you might consider moving.
Memphis, TN
Memphis, Tennessee, is a wonderful city all-around for those who like plenty of things to do alongside moderate climates for much of the year.
Memphis is famous as a great music city, being home to Elvis’s Graceland mansion as well as Beale Street, an important area in the history of blues. You can check out a ton of live music there, particularly B.B. King’s Blues Club, which serves up Southern comfort food alongside lively blues tunes.
With warm summers and cold winters that still never get below 20 degrees Fahrenheit, plenty of entertainment, and job markets in transportation and healthcare, you can’t go wrong picking up one of the many Memphis houses for sale.
Asheville, NC
Next up is the beautiful Asheville, North Carolina, a city known for its closeness to nature right alongside all the comforts of small-town America.
Asheville is situated right between the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Great Smoky Mountains, and this placement not only makes for stunning views and photo opportunities, but it also lets residents travel easily for hiking and camping.
It’s a city known for its industries in manufacturing, healthcare, and education while providing plenty to do for people on weekends, including restaurants and bars, museums, and lots of breweries.
Asheville is one place you can’t go wrong with if it’s that Southern charm you’ve been craving.
Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, TX
Lastly is the large and bustling northeastern part of Texas known as the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area.
The region has a population well over 7 million people, and a great many of these residents are professionals who work in lucrative industries there. Think manufacturing, oil and gas, and insurance.
With a generally young population, Dallas-Fort Worth features plenty of activities and things to do, including the Fort Worth Zoo, the JFK Assassination Tour (Dealey Plaza is in Dallas, of course), Perot Museum of Nature and Science, the Dallas Museum of Art, and so much more.
Winters are a bit cool down there, often in the 50s and low 60s for the high, but the metro area makes up for it with hot summers, usually somewhere in the 90s.
These three Southern cities are just lovely and waiting for new residents to come moving in, so if your interest has been piqued, then maybe now is the time to make your move.
I’ve read somewhere that flowers give life to a rather gloomy room. I wasn’t too keen on believing it because, in the past, flowers represented death to me. With deaths in the immediate family when I was younger, I think it made me associate beautiful bouquets of flowers to death.
