What are some quiet, peaceful places to live in the US?
ByI’m a southern guy born and raised in Louisiana. Don’t get me wrong, I love the south. I’m just tired of the noise of these bigger cities. Personality wise I’m an ISTJ and borderline between type A and B (if I wasn’t to darn competitive I’d be a type B). I LOVE running especially trails, as well as swimming and biking (triathlete). I’ve always been a religious conservative but not the activist type. As far as weather goes I don’t really care I’ve seen +2 feet of snow (lived in Oklahoma for 3 years) and many a day over 100deg. I’m always looking for some new adventure or excitement. I’m a real sucker for the great outdoors (camping, backpacking, fishing, ect…). What are some places I would enjoy? I’ll be working in healthcare if that’s of any use.

How about Fort Morgan, Colorado? Fort Morgan has lots of great old houses on old fashioned streets with lawns, big old trees in the front yards. A “Leave it to Beaver” type community. And it’s not that far from all the beautiful great-outdoors stuff you like. The Rocky Mountains, Denver, etc. You know, John Denver’s “Rocky Mountains High”! Quaking Aspens. Fishing, hiking, wild animals, camping. Conservative communities. Fort Morgan used to be a farming community raising sugar beets, among other things. Good luck, I hope you find what you are looking for.

Northwest Tennessee is always looking for medical professionals (check Indeed.com and other online job boards) and fits the majority of your criteria. Also, should you ever need to get back in a city for any reason, Memphis and Nashville are just few hours away via interstate. Below in the source is a link to a slide show of pictures if you want to see some of the places I see on a daily basis.

Anywhere up or down the Western side of Washington state would be heaven.
But you might like Bellingham, and places up north of Seattle, which, while being laid back, are a little more conservative than Seattle or places south.
