50 Cities That Offer the Best Value for Your Money if You Work RemoteBy RISMedia Staff
With 5 million Americans now working remotely, it’s useful to know the places that offer not only great working and living conditions, but also affordable rates. A new report from RentCafe located the cities for remote workers that offer the best mix of features, affordability and remote work-readiness.
RentCafe analyzed 19 relevant metrics for hundreds of cities, which fall into five main categories most sought-after by digital nomads: comfort, value, leisure and remote work-readiness. The report found 50 cities that offer remote workers the best value for their money, and ranked them accordingly. Key highlights:
According to the report, in the category of remote work readiness the cities of Rockville, Maryland; Irvine, California and Plano, Texas are the most desirable. For the category of comfort, Fort Myers and Sarasota, Florida are the winners and for the category of leisure, Fort Myers, Naples and West Palm Beach, Florida are the winners. Lastly, for the category of rental demand Kalamazoo, Michigan; Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and Birmingham, Alabama are the most desirable. “Nowadays, if your job is fully remote, it’s common to say goodbye to your hometown and move somewhere else for a few months (or forever) in search of a better, cheaper life. In fact, the internet abounds with stories of people who did exactly that. A recent Upwork study unveiled that 4.9 million Americans have already relocated due to remote work and almost 19 million more are predicted to do so in the near future,” said Laura Pop-Badiu, author of the report. “However, if you’re going to upend your life and go through the trouble of moving across the country, you should choose your new location carefully.” For the full report, click here. |
