Millennials. They are out there. Finding good jobs and settling into good neighborhoods. You might find the locations surprising where motivated millennials seem to be gathering.
With the summer military move cycle in the New Year ahead, an abundance of military families will be packing up from their West Coast nest and setting their GPS for an East Coast destination, or, vice versa. These travel-savvy explorers will follow the ribbons of interstate highways that crisscross this grand country. Beyond a military transfer, the idea of trekking around the United States may have you thinking about where many of the young (and young at heart) are choosing to work and play. Narrowing it down to the Millennial generation, those born from 1981-1996, the National Association of Realtors® has been researching where millennials seem to be congregating. Take a look at this handful of pleasing places -

Seattle
From Lake City to Queen Anne to Georgetown, the wide variety of Seattle neighborhoods give a millennial home buyer plenty of options to find their niche. Even though the city of Seattle includes a noticeable sales tax, millennials will be happy to report the state of Washington has zero state income tax.

A copious amount of jobs are available in the Salt Lake City area, particularly for those around the age range of 22 - 37. Those millennials into skiing and snowboarding will be stoked their new Salt Lake City address is within reach of the nearby slopes.

El Paso

Denver
Hiking, biking, and sightseeing are go-to weekend plans when the Rocky Mountains are in Denver’s backyard. Much like Seattle, millennials in Denver can have their pick of unique neighborhoods, even if some places may come with a bit of sticker shock.
