Biased here but I think Reno's pretty under rated. Lots of people like to bash it, but we have cheap property here, I can ski in Tahoe, go exploring in Yosemite to the south, pay no income tax, bet on sports and play poker legally all from my home. Plus there's good gambling and prostitution is legal near by if you're into that kind of thing.
As far as economics go I think the entire State of North Dakota is under rated. My entire family is from there, and most still live there. Great Jobs and great economy, it's like the recession never hit there.
Was supposed to go to Reno this summer, but didn't happen... Can you go into more details on the "cheap property" comment? I like the idea of being close to mountains and lake.. though I heard the lake is too cold to swim in, in the summer?
I bought a 4 bedroom house (1994) just outside of town in an average HOA community for about 99k in 2012, it's now worth about 150k, but still pretty cheap. My house payment is like a car payment. I'm about 40 mins from Tahoe, prices there are very high though. The water is cold, but I've gone swimming there and the kids got in too. It's cold but swimmable.
You're right-Reno is under rated..I go there at least once a year--cool town..and Tahoe is closeBiased here but I think Reno's pretty under rated.

I know some bad shit has gone down there recently, but Charleston SC is a great city. Great climate, lots of parks and history, mixture of old and new, very nice people.
I moved to Hoover, AL 18 months ago and I absolutely love it. Wouldn't have imagined I'd like it this much.
Hoover/Birmingham area very underrated. Affordable, beautiful scenery, nice people, things to do. Beats anywhere I've lived up north.
Isn't Hoover where that one HS football coach coached? The guy featured on E60? He's now in Georgia. Think he had a job with Saban until he fucked around on his wife.
