Good Morning Everyone,

I am looking to relocate to Temple or Killeen, Texas. My family of 5 just can not take the cold weather in upstate New York. The move should happen about November 1, 2010. :thumbup:
Is there anyone out there who knows about the housing down in TX? I have 3 boys (14, 12, & 3). Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

:-D

I can't help you, but I wish you the best of luck! I can see why you would want to get away from the weather!

Here is a link to the Temple newspaper. All I know is the Scott & White hospital there. Heart and vascular unit and doctors are the best in my opinion. Best of luck with the move.

Sounds good to me. I have a hard time with cold weather. You can probably find housing listed online and that will give you an idea.

I lived in Baldwinsville for 4 years. We moved to CA 18 yrs ago & I do not miss the snow one bit! There is a lot to be said for nice weather!

We didn't like the cold in Ithaca, New York so we relocated to Southern Virginia 11 years ago and love it !!

OMGosh, with all the extreme heat we have had, and still having, in Southeast Missouri, I would LOVE to live where it is colder. I sweat all the time. I don't remember it being so hot when I was a little girl, but probably because we didn't have air conditioning, so I didn't know any difference.

I have to vote with all you New Yorkers about the weather! I, too, lived in NY, a little town called Groton (not very far from Ithaca!) and moved to Phoenix, AZ area 16 years ago. I have yet to miss my snow shovel, stud tires, riding/push lawn mower, weed whacker, lawn rake and window brush/scrapper for the car.

BUT, I did visit out here in August to make sure I could handle the heat. So just remember that the worst hot and muggy day in NY is mild compared to the whole summer in TX and you will fall in love!

Good luck on your move.
