Small towns can remind us of a simpler way of life. Everyone knows your name, family-owned businesses still exist, and people live their lives at a much slower pace than what “city folk” are used to!

Which is probably why our country’s small towns draw new residents and tourists every year. If you’ve always thought the location in those Hallmark movies seem like great places to live and are drawn to charming main streets, quirky festivals, friendly locals, and lovely country landscapes, then we have found some great options.

For our outdoor lovers and art-and-food-focused individuals, we have some ideas for a great getaway. You might even find your new home on our list!

      1. Wait a minute: I live in San MIguel de Allende, MX. A great place to live. Better than many cities and towns in the US. Lots of Americans and Europeans live here. Affordable, pretty, and peaceful. Well, and “Americanized” in a positive way.

      1. No. That is why they have such poor schools in rural areas. No housing, nothing to do, a really stuck in the middle mentality.

  1. Having flown to many locales around the world with the USAF (all seven continents), many ravaged by war and pestilence these pictures just remind me how fortunate I and my family are to live here. Just as in the previous centuries, no wonder people are risking everything to come here.

      Well said. There is so much beauty here in the United States to enjoy. Lots of wonderful small towns everywhere. I live in Holland, MI (near Lake Michigan) and love it!! We are truly blessed as American citizens for our freedoms and wide open space to live in.

      1. Have lived all over USA w/US Public Health Service, traveled all over during our military month-vacation (in a tent)& have zeroed in on small-town mid-Atlantic in which to retire (now Leftest Coast, but desperately want to get out to either Southern PA, Panhandle WVA or a few extreme NE Tenn location, or….upper NC). Would love certain parts of VA or MD since both my husband & I were born or lived there for times….but taxes/regulations/gov’t “X” them out for us. We’re old, cranky about people telling us how we have to live after years of us serving others, & paying to support others out of our tax monies after we’ve worked to serve them…the vicious cycle of giving & then being punished for choosing to give. Want to live the rest of our lives in some fiscally, socially, humanly SANE state.

  2. Abilene,Kansas has some better days. COVID hit the town hard and many of the shops in the main part of town are closed. Hope this pretty town can come back

    1. Franklin is amazing as is many other towns throughout the South. The only Southern town they listed was Beaufort, S.C. and I agree it’s a great place but I don’t understand why many Southern locations were left out.

      1. There are so many in the South, it has charm written all over it. Someone could do an article about a road trip through the South. NC mountains are stunning as is GA on the Appalachian Trail, Alabama is a one-of-a-kind place, Louisianna is great, etc.

  3. Yall need to visit Lincoln, New Mexico it is so cool, Billy the kid could show up at any time,it is that nostalgic.

    We have several great small towns in Texas you know. Youse guys from the Northeast need to get out to the Southwest sometime.

  5. “Abilene, Abilene prettiest town that I’ve ever seen.Women there don’t treat you mean.Wish to the lord that I could be
    in Abilene, my Abilene”

    Small towns are the heart and soul of this country. I live in a small town and love every minute of it. I would never want to live in the big city as there is too many people and the hustle is too much for me.

    Went there on guided bus tour. Bring your pocket book!! Rent is very high or impossible. Beautiful scenery. Big mountain right there when you look up. Would go again but on a bus trip only.
