Movin’ on up.

For many Americans, their goal is to leave the hustle and bustle of a city to buy a home in a quiet suburban neighborhood. While this sounds fine and dandy — the fickle housing market is forcing many to re-evaluate where their life will settle.

So if you’re open to the idea of potentially moving states, GOBankingRates’ research team just revealed the fastest-growing suburbs in the US — and how much money people need to make annually to afford a home there.

Woodbridge, Virginia, ranked No. 1 on the list. According to the report, the town’s population soared from about 4,000 residents to 43,000 between 2018 and 2023.

On average, residents here need about $124,161 to not live paycheck to paycheck, according to the report.

“There are a multitude of reasons for this population boom, but among them is the fact that many DC-area residents left the city during the pandemic in search of less-populated, nearby suburbs, such as Woodbridge,” CJ Williamson, a GOBankingRates researcher, told Southern Living.

“Our data also shows Woodbridge has a relatively strong livability score (71 out of 100) and a relatively affordable home median price for the DC area, at roughly $500,000 as of February 2025, which may also explain its growing popularity,” he told the outlet.

Texas dominated the top of the list. Fulshear, Texas, came in second with a 236.7% increase in population — and a $119,909 salary is needed to afford a house there.

Celina and Princeton were two other Texas towns that saw a more than 100% increase in residents moving there. The salary range to live there is between $95,000 and $137,000.

Some of the neighborhoods that didn’t make the top 10 — but still made the list include Saint Cloud, Florida, where a resident needs at least $108,487 to live comfortably.

Hamtramck, Michigan, is much more affordable — if someone wants to buy a home there, they’ll need an income of $76,618.

At least $120,895 is needed annually to afford Wake Forest, North Carolina.

For any New Yorkers who want to make a life change — Elkridge, Maryland, isn’t too far, and a salary of about $119,076 will make living there comfortable.

Out west — Castle Rock, Colorado, Happy Valley, Oregon, and Avon, Indiana, are all potential options. Salary ranges to afford a home in those states have to be between $85,000 and $150,000.

Down south, Kyle and Katy are two more Texas areas that also made the list.

1. Woodbridge, Virginia (887.3%, $124,161)

2. Fulshear, Texas (236.7%, $199,909)

3. Celina, Texas (190.2%, $137,965)

4. Princeton, Texas (114.7%, $95,375)

5. Queen Creek, Arizona (84%, $137,492)

6. Prosper, Texas (81%, $160,327)

7. Fort Mill, South Carolina (77.6%, $121,572)

8. Fate, Texas (77.3%, $97,589)

9. Anna, Texas (70.9%, $96,137)

10. Groveland, Florida (65.4%, $105,272)

If you can’t seem to part ways with your corner bodega or the idea of living in a quiet suburb makes you want to hurl — recent data from Redfin shows the US cities where homes are selling the fastest.

New York’s Rochester, Buffalo, Albany and Long Island’s Nassau County all made the top 10 list.
