Best Places to Relocate

If you haven't considered relocating to the Southwest, now is a good time to do so, for the following reasons:

Higher Salaries

High numbers of retirees and extreme sports enthusiasts flock to the Southwest to enjoy the mild winter climate, scenic canyons, hiking, mountains, and winter sports, resulting in a population that requires therapy services at a per capita ratio higher than other U.S. regions. The result is a shortage of therapists in New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Nevada, and west Texas, which means that therapists working in this region can expect to make the highest salaries in the nation. The average starting salary for a therapist in the Southwest is over $60,000, plus relocation packages and sign on bonuses. It is not unusual for experienced therapists to make more than six figures in this region.

Low Cost of Living

Combine a high salary with a very low cost of living, and your quality of life skyrockets. For example, if you are currently living in Connecticut and making $60,000, you would get $12,000 a year more value from that same money just by moving to New Mexico, simply because the cost of living in New Mexico is so much less than the cost of living in the Northeast. Check out CNN's cost of living calculator and run the numbers for your individual scenario. You might be surprised what you discover.

Proximity to Entertainment and Events

Almost any city in the Southwest is a short drive away from scenic hiking, skiing, snow boarding, rock climbing, or a fabulous weekend in Las Vegas. There are six different ski resorts in New Mexico alone. Alamogordo, New Mexico is only a 45 minute drive from a snow boarding resort and an hour and a half from balmy Mexico. Hoover Dam, the Grand Canyon, and Yellowstone National Park are also prime attractions in this area.

Friendlier Climate

There are a variety of land elevations in this area, which means you can choose to live in a lower elevation with mild winters while still being only a short driving distance away from mountains, snow, and a variety of winter sports activities. Or, if you just can't give up your snow-filled winters, relocate to a higher elevation and just take a short drive down the mountain if you get too cold.

Friendly People

The Southwest is famous for its friendly population. Residents love the beautiful scenery, comfortable climate, spacious real estate, and variety of entertainment, which all go a long way toward boosting residents' general mood. Instead of rudely bumping into you on the street or in the subway, residents of the Southwest are much more likely to smile and say hello.
