Hi Roxy, I lived in SLO for almost 20 yrs and there is just no other place like it in the US. We moved to Las Vegas because of a business we had but dearly missed SLO. We found Eagle, Id (which is a suburb right outside of Boise) while looking at a business out here. We fell in love with the area and bought a house here a year later. We still miss SLO but if you look at the cost of homes it is so incredibly inflated. We still have a ranch there and were lucky to buy that several years ago before the area became so popular. It is hard for a new family to start there because of the inflated home prices. But as far as the weather, people and attitude it is the best place in the US that we have found, although it is smaller town living you have the beaches and the moutains and average temps around 70 degrees. In Eagle/Boise because of the economy home prices have fallen drastically you can easily buy a fantastic home on a decent piece of property (1/2 acre) for about 300,000. I don't know what your price range is but there are foreclosures everywhere. If you can find a decent job here you would be in good shape. On the other hand there is not a large multicultural population here, but I for one would welcome it!! I hope this helps.
