Stevenage, United Kingdom

Preparing to move abroad? Stevenage's population has swelled to 89,495 since it was designated a New Town in 1946, but the bureaucracy and planning headaches continue. With a chilly oceanic climate typical of the UK, the town's transportation focus on roundabouts and segregated bike paths may not suit everyone. However, Stevenage's generous green spaces and sports culture could appeal to active types seeking an affordable commuter town within easy reach of London.
