If You’re A College Grad, Here’s A List Of The Best Places For You To Move To Right Now
We’re nearing the end of graduation season, which means many new college graduates are entering the ‘real world.’
Being fresh out of college can be a very intimidating experience as you look for your dream job and eventually find your own place to live.
If you’re a recent college graduate struggling to figure out your next move, you may want to consider living in these U.S. cities to set yourself up for a bright financial future.
While many people may think of the city of Denver when thinking of places to live in Colorado, the city of Colorado Springs actually offers a better market for recent college graduates.
Colorado Springs has exhibited job growth and has a large population of young people. Additionally, affordable rent prices from the city make it an excellent spot for recent graduates.
If you’re a recent graduate looking to stay on the west coast, try looking into Spokane, Washington. Although many young people wish to flee to Seattle, data from Zillow shows that the average rent cost in Spokane is around $660 cheaper than the average rent cost in Seattle.
Plus, it’s the perfect place to be if you’re a basketball lover, with the world’s largest 3-on-3 basketball tournament, the Spokane Hoopfest, being held there annually.
If you’re a recent college graduate looking to enter the insurance industry, check out Des Moines, Iowa. Des Moines has become known as a global insurance hub, so it is the perfect place for graduates looking for a job in that field.
Additionally, Zillow shows that the average rent in Des Moines is $1,202, which is much lower than other major cities in the U.S.

Many college graduates have found themselves moving to Phoenix, Arizona, because of its job market. Although Zillow data shows the typical rent in Phoenix to be $1,918, it’s still a popular city for its sunny climate and young population.
Although many people want to move to New York City to pursue their dreams after college, it’s no secret that it’s incredibly difficult to do because of the high rent prices. So perhaps you should head a bit further upstate and look into Buffalo, New York.
Although it may not sound as glamorous as New York City, Zillow states the typical rent in the area is $1,257 a month, which is much cheaper than certain New York City rent prices. It’s a great place to start a career and save for your dream NYC apartment.
Post-grad life is scary and can be very overwhelming. But once you plant yourself in a place where you can live comfortably, tremendous growth can be made!
