I was in Dallas for a visit and the people couldn't be lovelier. Maybe depends which neighborhood and which shul? We were with Congregation Ohr Hatorah. Many friendly yeshivish people there, we got about 5 Shabbos invites. DH and I chatted with a bunch of congregants. If not for my extended family in NY, I'd consider a move there.

St Louis could be nice option.

This
NJ is very liberal
From after Purim till Shavuos, 2020, Lakewood played the Covod game
After that Aron Kotler and other askonim politely told the governor to take the nonsense elsewhere
The local police won’t enforce it, and State police avoid coming if possible because they know the local police don’t really support it

I have a large house that's assessed at under $500K, but I'm not sure what the market price is currently for houses that size. You'd have to do some research (if you pm me I can give you names of real estate agents that I know). In the North Eruv, where I live, houses are generally less expensive than in the South Eruv.
Sorry I don't have much info about Plano because I don't live there, and sorry also that I don't have info about what the schools are doing because I don't have school-age kids. Hope someone else can answer those questions.

Snobby and classist? I have never experienced anything like that in the 18 years I've lived here. Not sure which shul you went to but I have never seen that in any shul here that I know about. (I live in the North Eruv, within walking distance of 4 wonderful, welcoming Orthodox shuls.)
Dallas is the total 180 opposite of snobby and classist!

There is going to be a new community with a Kollel under Torah U'Mesorah starting this summer in TAMPA FLORIDA!
The community is not going to be Chassidish.
Separate from the existing Chassidish community.
For more info call the Rabbi running it at
The community is geared to be a warm Frum out-of-town Torah growing community from what they say. The vision sounds really nice, and it's affordable too!

Rabbi Panish is his name
Sounds like its going to be "out of town Yeshivishish"
It's not officially any Yeshiva,
He said the Kollel plans on opening with families moving from Eretz Yisroel and learned in the Mir etc.
You could call him

Norfolk Virginia is a pretty amazing community - and - we now have a Republican governor. We are expanding the kollel and have other jobs available, too!

I know this thread is from a month ago but I just cannot wrap my head around someone choosing where to move based on whether or not masks are required in schools. It’s incredibly short sighted.

That's like saying that taking into account for a shidduch how a bochur dealt with his roommates when he was in Yeshiva is incredibly short-sighted.
You're right, the mask mandate may end soon. But one's position on the subject may say a lot about their values and general approach to policy, which certainly is likely to have an ongoing effect.

What about Memphis. It's a blue county but the frummer families are very red. We're very happy here. There is only one school which is actually very nice. We bought a while ago, but 500k for a 4 bedroom is doable.
