Also searching for a romantic partner who is simultaneously hot, young, rich, smart, conversant in multiple languages, has immaculate cultural tastes, loves monomaniacal climbers and is always in the mood. Because they totally exist and are attainable, just like the perfect climbing city.

Miami would be great for all the above except for it has fun nightlife. But you can always stay in!

No, no, I hate even thinking about other people around me having fun at night. Thanks anyway.

For home prices, we have home prices by county so we need to aim for darker areas

For Rock climbing we have a heat map from reddit of the best places to live for rock climbing to stay away from

Layer them on top of one another and you get Williston, North Dakota. 

Williston is a city in and the county seat of Williams County, North Dakota, United States. The 2020 census gave its population as 29,160, making Williston the sixth-largest city in North Dakota. The city's population nearly doubled between 2010 and 2020, due largely to the North Dakota oil boom.

What is Williston North Dakota famous for?

Williston's economy is built on oil, agriculture, and tourism. It is home to over 200 oil service companies. Several of the top ten oil service companies in the world have operations in Williston.

Is Williston ND A good place to live?

Living in Williston offers residents a dense suburban feel and most residents rent their homes. In Williston there are a lot of coffee shops and parks. Many families and young professionals live in Williston and residents tend to be conservative.

What is there to do in Williston?

The Williston area today is a regional center for business and play, history and development, fun and adventure. When you visit Williston — or if you’re a new resident — you’ll find extraordinary historic sites, world-class hunting and fishing, nearby national and state parks, nationally-ranked golf links and a lot more. This place is booming with things to do, and now with new hotels and restaurants. Remember we are booming, so plan ahead for best availability

Seems awful and not fun at all. I will pack my bags immediately - thank you so much for the research kind stranger!

Edit* Just noticed that there are 5 TR, 2 Trad, and 3 boulder problems within 100 miles. Might be a challenge to stay away from the riffraff, but I will certainly try. Is there a more climbing-remote location?

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
