Here in the Triangle, the living really is easy. (And since you thought advanced calculus was easy, this  will be like a walk in the park - quite literally, if you came from a congested urban space.) The  weather  is so nice, the neighborhoods are so safe, and the housing market is, well, so healthy and affordable.  The grass? It truly is always greener here with our average year-round temperature of 70  degrees. You  might think we’re looking at life through thick-rimmed, rose-colored glasses, but all of  these assets and  amenities tend to make us pretty optimistic (actually, the third most optimistic U.S.  metro in the  country, according to Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index).

We’re consistently rated as one of the best places in the nation to raise a family, stay healthy, access  first-rate healthcare, find a mate and enjoy the outdoors. All of this makes us pretty cheerful and happy (the Triangle is one of the the happiest areas in the U.S.)!  It’s hard to imagine that all of this exists somewhere else, except in our own little Smartopia. Let’s face it, life is just smarter in the Triangle.
