Knoxville. Zero state income tax, affordable homes, beautiful mountains and all 4 seasons.

Had a kid go to UT. Yes, we have zero income tax, that part of the State is within an hour of beautiful mountains and yes we have all 4 seasons (not all that much snow) in Tennessee. But sorry, I think the town itself is a pit.
My vote for towns would be Boone NC (Home to Appalachian State) and Brevard NC (Home to smaller Brevard College). Yes, NC taxes are higher than Tennessee. But total cost of living isn't that much worse. And you're right by the mountains and the scenery is spectacular. Have found housing around Hendersonville and Brevard to be close to on par as here in Middle Tennessee.

100 percent agree. In fact, I would take Knoxville or Asheville these days.
Housing is still affordable, or was, in South Knoxville.
