Where is the best place to live for serious solo work?|175337

...secluded inexpensive housing near a lake? I have lived the Urban Life and it is beautiful. I need a change for the next two years. I need the lush green and the singing birds and all that. I am open to living anywhere in the United States, but would prefer to at least be 2 hours from some kind of life.

Lake Guntersville in Alabama is a great place to be, and the real estate prices are amazingly low. For more info, go to

West Tulsa, Southwest Santa Fe, North Miami (Actually north OF Miami), or Southeast Alabama (yes, the state.).

West Tulsa still has some people in it, but theres a lake nearby, and there are indeed birds, but its really just small flowers, trees, and patches of grass.

Southwest Santa Fe is for _winter wonderlanders_.

Country north of Miami is a good choice if you like the stuff like living around snakes and other biotic factors like such. If you can avoid using sudden movements, you don_t have anger or fear problems, and you don_t mind going outdoors around snakes once a week, then this is the #1 choice, all across the country.

Finally Southeast Alabama is the simplest, and it is like a second resort to the Northern country in Miami. Its not in the tropical area, and its nowhere near any amusement parks or serious life, but it does have that same pretty green grass. It has birds, trees, grass, and lakes. However, it does have a lot of bugs. No snakes though.

My niece did the same between undergrad and grad school. Escaped it all at Crested Butte for two years. check it out.
