There’s something romantic about small-town living. Imagine living out a Gilmore Girls’ Stars Hollow fantasy where the owner of the town diner knows your coffee order. As more and more companies offer fully remote positions, people are packing up and leaving the city to pursue the small town life.

A number of small townships and cities across the nation are looking to incentivize knowledge workers to move, rewarding them with cash, tax breaks, and even property. 

These programs are an appealing option for people who cannot afford real estate prices in major metro areas. “We see lots of early to mid-career people, often folks that are thinking about buying a home, or have kids, but have been priced out of local markets,” explains Evan Hock, cofounder of MakeMyMove, an online directory that connects towns and remote workers. 

But the perks go beyond a town covering closing costs on a new home, with quirky offerings that suggest a desire to build community. In Greensburg, Ind., parents can take advantage of the “Grandparents on Demand” package, which provides applicants with babysitting hours free of charge. (And not just any babysitter, according to the description on MakeMyMove, but “our friend Tami at the Decatur County Community Foundation and her husband (who also drives the school bus) happily offer babysitting hours and will stand in on Grandparents Day at school.”)

Other towns offer free concert tickets or lifetime memberships to a local deli co-op.

Communities across the U.S. spend $70 billion annually to grow their economy, says Hock. In the past, this money was frequently used to incentivize companies to move, but now townships can go straight to the remote employer instead.

“Now that millions of workers are geographical free agents, many of those communities are redirecting their funds to recruit the workers directly. These remote workers bring their families, their income, their spending power, and their taxes. For a modest investment, the returns are enormous,” says Hock.

People of varying skill levels and sectors have chosen this path, adds Hock, “If you can do your job at a desk, you can do your job at a desk anywhere.

Here are the top cities and townships that offer hefty incentives to settle in communities, as compiled by data from MakeMyMove. Some of them might even have a Stars Hollow-esque town commons and quirky neighbors to befriend.
