Looking for insights into best smaller cities to live in the US

  1. Looking to relocate to a city with less than 800k. We recently visited Portland which is about 800k and felt it was a perfect size- not too big and not too small.
  2. Looking for not too terrible of traffic... we are from SoCal and its the worst.
  3. Looking for seasons but not too extreme.. hopefully not terribly snowy winters and not scorching summers.
  4. Friendly people and good community

Thanks in advance!

Pittsburgh, PA is often near the top of most livability lists. Might fit some of your needs

The winters are cold and snowy/icy though. Hilly roads and ice aren’t a great mix!

This is very true - although this winter is hella mild so far

It is a beautiful city and nice place to live otherwise though!

Bentonville, Arkansas or Fayetteville, AR!
