Where do you go when the whole world is your office? If you find yourself among the scores of workers who’ve been unchained from their desks and are itching for a change of scenery, then read this guide from Reel Property Solutions LLC to the best cities for solopreneurs and gig economy nomads.
Rochester, Minnesota
Located in southern Minnesota, Rochester is a great option for gig economy nomads and solopreneurs. At just over 120,000 residents, it’s the state’s third-largest city, and is ringed by rolling hills along the Zumbro River. You can enjoy the extensive park system when you’re not working. As the largest employer in the state, Mayo Clinic is headquartered in Rochester, and IBM also has a presence. Remote work that’s popular in the city includes IT, medical, and customer service. And it isn’t difficult to find an internet cafe to plug into and enjoy a cup of coffee while you work.
Asheville, North Carolina
Asheville has been identified as an up-and-coming city for remote workers, as evidenced by its steady growth in recent years. Asheville has numerous housing options ranging from lofts to bungalows to villas, giving workers plenty of options for finding the living arrangement that works for them.
This town also offers an excellent mix of urban and rural environments for when you want to skip the downtown co-working space in favor of sending some emails while perched on a mountain top.
Columbia, South Carolina
Just to the south you’ll find a gem for solopreneurs and digital nomads in the city of Columbia. As the second-largest city in South Carolina, it is experiencing a thriving entrepreneurial spirit with business-friendly policies that are attracting a wave of creatives and executives alike. The city is known for a great power grid and has at least 30 wi-fi hotspots, plus you’re just 7 miles from a major airport. There are also many choices for setting up shop in a coworking space. The number of remote workers and freelancers are swelling, so if the need ever arose when you needed to outsource tasks, it’s easy to bolster your recruiting efforts with an online staffing agency alternative that allows you to source local talent quickly and efficiently.
Jacksonville, Florida
Florida is another state that’s grown rapidly in recent years, and that’s especially true for Jacksonville. This northern Florida city has been hailed as a top spot for gig workers, especially those in the ride-hailing and delivery sectors, due to the influx of people moving there to enjoy the lower taxes and warm weather. Jacksonville has abundant housing choices at prices well below the national average.
Renowned for its beaches, Jacksonville has 22 miles of shoreline ideal for solo or family adventures.
San Diego, California
Sunny San Diego sits on the southern edge of California and gives remote workers the unique chance to spend the day working with their toes in the sand at any of the dozens of beaches in the area. You’re also in close proximity to the San Diego Zoo and other iconic West Coast attractions.
Another important point is that California has a fairly robust state insurance program called Medi-Cal, which is helpful if you’re a digital nomad or gig worker with an unstable income, especially given San Diego’s high housing costs.
Columbus, Ohio
Ohio might not be top of mind when you think of remote work hubs, but Columbus, the largest city in the state, is near the top of the list of best places for gig economy nomads. According to BestPlaces, Columbus has a much lower cost of living than the rest of the United States, and the median price for a house is significantly lower in this city.
Ohio also falls in the Eastern Standard Time Zone, making it convenient for workers who have ties to the East Coast but still want the Midwestern lifestyle.
Your Work, Your Way
Solopreneurship and the gig economy have opened up a host of new opportunities for Americans. Whether you want the thrill of a coastal city or the laid-back vibes of a small town, you have plenty of options as an untethered worker, including outsourcing tasks as needed.
