Best Cities in the US to move to in 2022

It goes without saying that the US is a large country, much larger than the UK. For Brits deciding to move to America, it can be a huge task deciding where to move within this giant mass of land. States and cities can vary hugely across a range of factors, including climate, population size, and quality of living. US cities are also hours, if not days apart from one another, meaning that your choice is a lot more definite than it might feel in smaller nations like the UK.

A choice as big as moving abroad should be carefully considered, and there is obviously no universal right answer. Different cities and states will have different benefits and drawbacks for different people. But to give you a little guidance, we’re here to deliver a guide on the best cities to live in USA 2022.
