@Jonathan J. MillerI love Colorado!! Took a family vacation there at one point and never forgot how beautiful it was. Do you think it might be pricey for a beginner to get started?

@Bill S.Fascinating - I didn't know that about the city's age, thanks for the tip! I'm actually not looking for professional sports necessarily... just want to avoid tiny towns with "nothing to do." My parents live in Danbury, CT, which has a pop of around 100K but there's a lot going on there.

@Scott MartinsonI'll look into Kansas City, thanks!

I'm about to move back to the U.S. from abroad, and I have an online business so I can settle anywhere in the country. It's a good problem to have, but... it makes choosing a location difficult!

I'd like to get started by buying a multifamily property and living in one unit while renting out the other(s). Does anyone have suggestions on U.S. cities that tend to have a number of duplex/triplex/4-plexes, and are also nice places to live?

By "nice place to live" I mean: 

• a city that's sizable enough to have cultural/sports/arts activities
• parks and proximity to nature would be a plus
• climate-wise, I grew up in CT so I'm used to four seasons, but would rather not go anywhere north of that

Thanks in advance!
