Top 4 Places To Raise A Family In The USA (2025 Edition)

Good Lord, do I love this country or do I love this country?! The answer: yes, I love this country. While they might not be as United as I'd like, they certainly aren't as divided as they've been, and the diversity of these states, with their inclusion of lots of stuff to do, really makes me wish my bank account had a little more equity so I could spend more time exploring this amazing nation of ours and a little less time at work, being a wage slave for the man. Or, in my case, a man, since I work for a small business.

But I digress. Often. So let me get back on track Jack. What I mean to say is this: some parts of this country flat up stink. Some are kinda ok, some are decent, some good, others great, and that's just the way it is see. I don't know why you have to question me about that, but then again, here we are. Again.

So, what are some of these places? What sucks? What rocks? What is in-between? I don't have the time or the energy to go into all of that right now, but I will tell you one thing: as far as my sane and rational mind go, there are eight places in the United States where the pros far outweigh the cons. So sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of eight pretty badass places to call home Jack.

4: Slap Mountain, Tennessee. What is Slap Mountain, TN? Well, I'll tell ya. It's anywhere in the world Kevin throws IWA DEEP SOUTH SHOWS boi. Basically, anywhere in Tennessee is a dope place to live. You can take that to the bank and cash it. I mean, some people like crime ridden Hell holes so who am I to judge? Most of Tennessee isn't that, the vast, well, maybe not vast, but a good chunk of it isn't, but some of it is. Regardless, they do pork BBQ better than most states, but probably not better than Texas. They also have a lot of jobs and beautiful mountains your majesty.

3: San Juan Capistrano, California. What is San Juan California, CA? I'm sure you'd like to know if you are still reading. So check it out, they have a restaurant that's inside old train cars. It's so cool. When you eat in there it's like "Woah, why aren't I moving?" but then you realize "Hey, I'm at a restaurant and not on a train!" and that's really fun. There's also one of those Missions the Spanish built when they conquered the native peoples, and a lot of good gardening stores. The guys at the Taco Bell will steal your money and not give you your food if you go through visibly and sloppily drunk, then challenge you to call the police if you complain. I have to admit, it's a good scam.

2: Truth & Consequences, New Mexico: What is Truth & Consequences, NM? Well, obvious it is a place to live. And why is it good? Because there is much truth there, and when people do things, there are consequences. That is the basis for America right there, truth and consequences. Or, at least it used to be. But that's another article! Am I bashing the WH or the media? I'll never tell! Not here anyway, this isn't the time nor the place for it Jack.

1: Sauget, Illinois. What is Sauget, IL? Well, it's a 24 hour party city with strip clubs, an OTB and a bar that never closes! When you're hungry, there is also a gas station and mini market that never closes. You probably don't want to move here if you want to live a long time, but if you want to live a fun time, well, this is the place for you, yes sir! Even better, it's right next to The Hill in St. Louis! Pizza time!

Well, there you have it. The definitive, all defining list of all time of the greatest cities or towns to live in in the USA, at least as far as April 21st of 2025 is concerned. I appreciate you reading this until the end. Please check out some of my other works, I am absolutely, positively desperate for attention and meaningful human interaction. Well, that's not true, as I am desperate for any interaction whatsoever, regardless if it is human or meaningful.
