COVID-19 has altered the way the entire world works. With working from home becoming much more common now than it used to be, some people are getting tired of being at home all the time and are thinking of making the most of it by working remotely from somewhere else \u2014 for example, from remote vacation spots, away from the big crowded city. If you want to do the same, here are some remote work destinations for this summer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not being tied down to one location for your job sounds like a dream come true. However, there are many factors to consider when looking for a new place to work from \u2014 especially now, since traveling continues to be discouraged.<\/p>\n

The most important factor in ranking these locations was the COVID-19 infection rate (June 28th – July 5th). However, given how fast the situation continues to develop, the list is susceptible to changes. If you must<\/strong> make a move to any of the places on our list, remember to stay safe, adhere to social distancing norms as much as possible, and be mindful of any possible imposed quarantine periods and travel restrictions.<\/em><\/p>\n

Top Remote Work Destinations in the U.S.<\/h2>\n

To select the best remote vacation spots, we looked at the most searched for U.S. vacation destinations on Google, focusing on less-crowded cities with fewer than 600,000 people. We also made sure there were plenty of apartment buildings that offered short-term leases, a reasonable cost of living and acceptable internet speed.<\/p>\n

\"remote<\/a><\/p>\n

Whether you already rely on telecommuting, have just started working remotely, or are looking to give it a try as soon as it’s safer to do so, here are the best remote work destinations in the U.S.:<\/p>\n

1. Santa Fe, NM<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"remote
\nWith a high share of short-term leases and great internet speed, sunny Santa Fe is a nice place to relocate to temporarily for a change of scene while you work remotely and stay safe.<\/p>\n

If you need to unwind, a stroll down Canyon Road<\/strong> should do the trick. It culminates as you reach the Sangre de Cristo Mountains<\/strong> \u2014 a sight to behold at the end of a particularly busy day. However, admiring the Pueblo-style architecture can also be just as effective in a city so full of history.\u00a0Most importantly, this city has the second-lowest COVID-19 infection rate on the list.<\/p>\n

2. Colorado Springs, CO<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"remote
\nDo you crave nature as you sit working at your computer between four walls? If so, Colorado Springs has just what you need and more. In addition to the third-lowest infection rate on the list, Colorado Springs also has the third-best internet speed \u2014 although you might not have WiFi for your Zoom calls in its underground caves.<\/p>\n

Here, in one of the hottest remote vacation spots, you can enjoy the best the Rockies have to offer to any outdoor aficionado (or professional just looking for some fresh air), including a variety of hikes, breathtaking trails and zipline adventures. Plus, you can escape the city and forget the stress with a side trip to the Garden of the Gods<\/strong> to check out the out-of-this-world red rock formations or Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, <\/strong>the only mountain zoo in the country.<\/p>\n

3. Vancouver, WA<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"remote
\nAffordable living, great internet speed for watching some Netflix on your breaks and a low COVID-19 rate make Vancouver a great remote work destination. Best of all, you can start your day properly with a good cup of coffee by Vancouver Lake<\/strong> as you recharge your batteries for a new workday. And, while Esther Short Park<\/strong> might be a bit short on public events and festivals this summer, the 35 bells chiming every 15 minutes are as soothing as ever.<\/p>\n

Notably, this charming city celebrates its past while also embracing modern times, which is why it rightly sits among the top remote vacation spots in the country. While you’re here, marvel at the restored 19th-century houses on Officers’ Row and check out all of the statues that keep popping up around the city. Then, when you\u2019re done exploring Vancouver culture in the city, take a walk on the wild side and check out Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge<\/strong>. You can also go to the Silver Star Mountain<\/strong> for a mandatory hike that will take your breath away.<\/p>\n

4. Asheville, NC<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"remote
\nNeed a short term lease? There are plenty to choose from here. Want great internet, too? You got it. Asheville could be the perfect remote work destination for you.<\/p>\n

If you’ve visited Asheville before, you know the term \u201ccool\u201d is almost overused when describing this bohemian city. It’s a favorite among foodies, outdoorsy people, art folk, and just about any subculture you could think of. Asheville has something for everyone \u2014 the beer, food and awesome street art are just the icing on the cake.<\/p>\n

Surrounded by mountains and water, there\u2019s plenty of outdoor activities to choose from whenever you need a break from your laptop. For example, try bellyaking, which is kayaking on your belly using special gloves for paddles. Or, for a gentler stress relief, check out the Biltmore Estate<\/strong>, take a stroll in the foothills, or just look around and feast your eyes on the greenery. Furthermore, if your remote work vacation in Asheville happens to last until fall, you\u2019ll be lucky enough to see the leaves turn. The colors are beyond your imagination and you’ll finally understand what all the fuss is about.<\/p>\n

5. Honolulu, HI<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"honolulu\"
\nIf the idea of working remotely makes you think of a sunny beach with WiFi, chances are that you\u2019re already picturing Honolulu. We can\u2019t talk domestic hotspots without mentioning this sunny gem that’s not only gorgeous, but also boasts a low COVID-19 rate and a generous share of short-term leases. It blends cosmopolitan and tropical vibes to perfection with traditional dishes and some of the best cocktails that you can enjoy as you turn off your laptop for the day. Plus, visit tropical rainforests and waterfalls straight out of a fairy tale and take advantage of the best activity to help you unwind on the weekend \u2014 fishing.<\/p>\n

It’s easy to see why this is a favorite among remote vacation spots. Despite Honolulu having the lowest infection rate on our list, avoid crowded beaches and popular attractions like Pearl Harbor<\/strong>. Rather, choose to explore the island’s untamed beauty, instead. Take your pick of several hiking trails that are sure to give you the views of a lifetime. Speaking of views, let\u2019s add Diamond Head peak<\/strong>, Makapu\u2019u Point Lighthouse<\/strong> and the Honolulu Botanical Gardens<\/strong> to that mix. These are just a few of the entries on a long Honolulu bucket list.<\/p>\n

6. St. Louis, MO<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"remote
\nYou may not think of St. Louis as one of the typical remote vacation spots, but the Gateway to the West is actually the most-searched-for spot on our list.<\/p>\n

When you log off and get to know Missouri’s largest city, you’ll understand its sightseeing potential. For instance, you can do the usual, such as visiting the\u00a0Missouri Botanical Garden<\/strong>, the zoo and go up the Gateway Arch<\/strong>. Or, you can go a bit off the beaten path and check out the caves underneath the city \u2014 which are said to have been used during prohibition, visit the outdoor Laumeier Sculpture Park<\/strong> and check out the amazing mosaic art of the Cathedral Basilica<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

7. Tulsa, OK<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"remote
\nTulsa is more than “OK” if you want to combine a budget-friendly urban destination with a comfy place where you can work remotely from. Here, there’s no shortage of short-term leases, so you have plenty of apartments to choose from.<\/p>\n

With enough Southern charm to woo even the strictest city-bound professional, Tulsa may be just what you need to quench your thirst for history, culture and sports. Plus, it has the second-fastest internet speed on the list.<\/p>\n

Start by visiting the John Hope Franklin Reconciliation Park<\/strong>, check out the Praying Hands<\/strong> after you finish drafting emails and learning more about Native American heritage<\/strong> between Zoom meetings.<\/p>\n

8. Santa Cruz, CA<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"remote
\nMixing business with pleasure is easy in a picture-perfect beach town like Santa Cruz. Surf City didn\u2019t earn its nickname for nothing. It even has a Surfing Museum<\/strong> to prove it! This remote vacation spot might be exactly what you’re looking for.<\/p>\n

While you\u2019re here, step away from the boardwalk and busy beaches and find some inspiration in the city\u2019s apple orchards. Head over to West Cliff Drive<\/strong> or take hikes in Wilder Ranch<\/strong> and Big Basin State Parks<\/strong> for enough natural scenery to last you for your entire remote work period.<\/p>\n

9. Milwaukee, WI<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"remote
\nMilwaukee’s cool summer festivals may not be an option at the moment, but the city has plenty more to offer on the side. Affordable living and great internet speed are just some of the benefits that come with working from here.<\/p>\n

Specifically, if you\u2019re looking to admire the architecture, start with the Allen-Bradley Clock Tower<\/strong> and the Basilica of St. Josaphat<\/strong>. And, be sure to check out all of the street murals while you\u2019re at it! Meanwhile, visiting the Harley-Davidson Museum<\/strong> is a must, much like unwinding after meetings on the waterfront.<\/p>\n

Avoid the city crowd and escape to the shores of Lake Michigan<\/strong>, bike on the Oak Leaf Trail,<\/strong> or take a drive and explore the quirky towns nearby. If the outskirts are not your thing and you\u2019re mainly missing happy hour with colleagues, you can squeeze in a cold brew after work.<\/p>\n

10. Virginia Beach, VA<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"virginia
\nThe most important criteria when looking for a remote work destination is likely internet speed, and Virginia Beach has it.<\/p>\n

Other perks of this resort city include just about anything you could possibly desire \u2014 sun, outdoor activities, fresh air and good seafood. The best thing is that you don\u2019t need to head over to cramped beaches to enjoy them. You can bask in the Virginia sun just about anywhere in this coastal city.<\/p>\n

After you\u2019re done working for the day, check out the Aquarium and Marine Science Center<\/strong>,\u00a0make a short climb to Cape Henry Lighthouse <\/strong>or get rid of pent-up stress in First Landing State Park.<\/strong> Be sure to set aside a weekend to explore the Back Bay Wildlife Refuge,<\/strong> as well as the Bethel Beach Natural Area Preserve.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With social distancing still being the norm, you might think of trying out a different remote work destination while you isolate. A nice scenery can do wonders for your productivity, but remember to stay safe and consider traveling only if you must.<\/p>\n

Methodology:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

RentCafe is a\u00a0nationwide apartment search website<\/a>\u00a0that enables renters to easily find apartments and houses for rent throughout the United States.<\/em><\/p>\n

For each destination, we calculated the final score using six indicators: COVID-19 infection rates, online search volumes, population, internet speed, inventory of short-term leases and the cost of rent and utilities.<\/em><\/p>\n

COVID-19 infection rates were calculated using data made available by USAFacts<\/em>, represent<\/em>ing the (7-day moving average) daily new cases per 100k people by county (June 28th – July 5th<\/strong>). This indicator was given a higher weight in each destination’s rank calculation, representing 50% of the final score. Other metrics were weighted at 10% each.<\/em><\/p>\n

Online search volumes for each destination were provided by Google Keyword Planner and represented the monthly average search volumes between June 2019 and May 2020. Only destinations with more than 10k average monthly searches in the last year were included in the analysis.<\/em><\/p>\n

For population data <\/em>we used the U.S. Census Bureau<\/a>‘s 5-year American Community Survey (ACS). Only included destinations with populations of less than 600k were included.<\/em><\/p>\n

For internet speed data we used a Broadbandnow state-level report compiling the \u201cfastest average speed\u201d data from MLabs, which represents the average of all speed test results that were in the top 90th percentile in a given state. <\/em><\/p>\n

For the short<\/em>-term leases inventory data we calculated the share of properties out of the total RentCafe inventory where the option for renting a unit for 6 months or less was available<\/em>. Cities with fewer than 5 properties or without any short<\/em>-term lease units in the R<\/em>ENTCa<\/em>f\u00e9 inventory were excluded from the analysis.<\/em><\/p>\n
