I would say any mid-size city in Canada. In general though I would think it would depend on what you like. If you love the outdoors, somewhere like Kirkland near Seattle might appeal to you. Okotoks is a beautiful town close to Calgary that is environmentally progressive, has a fabulous economy, less traffic than the city but close enough to commute. Once all the land currently slated for sale is taken in Okotoks, they are not releasing any more for sale as they want to keep the ecosystem intact. They have a great website if you want to learn more about it..just type Okotoks, Alberta into google...I could also suggest a little city called Leduc which is 10 minutes south of Edmonton. If you like country type people, and lower taxes but like to be close to the city for work. You might try narrowing down what kind of climate you like, then search in those areas, and keep narrowing until you find a place that has the amenities and features that are important to you. For safety, most cities have statistics available online, and for atmosphere, once you decide that, you could use google earth to see how many lakes/rivers (or whatever appeals to you... are near the cities you are looking at.) Once you have a short list of places...you could also post specific questions on here about commute times etc for residents to help you with...Hope that helps:)

Southern Virginia, but not so far south where you start hearing constant accents.

You could get a practical mansion for that budget in certain areas there. Well, just rather large. It's a peaceful area, nice people, average and not elevated crime rate, and a lot of natural parks, theme parks (well, two.), regional parks, and museums. Plus, you could always take a couple hour drive to drive up to the capital. The education is pretty good there too if you have kids.

I would say Long Island, New York. I used to live there, and it was lovely. There is a very convenient train line that leads to NYC (the LIRR). There are also a couple of beaches only about 20 minutes away (from Suffolk County). LI is generally safe; however, Suffolk county is safer than Nassau county. It is also very clean here; I remember, the town I lived in had flowers and trees planted in most of the public places and there were wildflowers growing on the sides of the highways. There's also some great shopping malls and centers too. LI is great!
This website has the best list of properties availible in LI:
