Resolved Question: Trying to find our ideal place to raise our family?
We currently live in Northern VA, in one of the more desirable counties in the country however I grew up here and what I loved about it as a child has drastically changed and we are no longer happy here. Here is our criteria.
A nice home with property for under 300k. Not suburbs. Not west virginia style boonies.
Clean nearby town with a Whole Foods Market (a 24 hour one would be fantastic) or other large natural/organic type grocery stores.
Forests, mountains, lakes, rivers are all good things. We love the outdoors. Fishing, boating, bike riding, hiking, rally racing, horseback riding, caving, are all ideal activities.
Obviously decent school systems, low crime, no drugs.
Local events like small town harvest festivals, music/art shows, museums, historical sites are great.
Within at most an hour drive of “civilization”. Which means some form of busy downtown with nightlife and preferably more upscale clientele.
Little to no nearby government and traffic!
States we are more interested than others: California, Oregon, Colorado, Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, but we will consider anywhere in the states!

please add why and what exactly you know about the places you mentioned. Thanks!
I mean definitely NOT a city. Where we live now we are about 30 min from dc, and 30 min from horse country/historic towns/farms, but live in the largest suburb area of VA. What I want is the small town/horse country type places.
Also more Sunny warm days than rainy, cold ones!
