I'm admittedly biased on this one. Consider the following:
* Low cost of living (housing ~33% of Bay Area)
* Extremely low crime rate
* Beautiful outdoors. Mountains, streams, heavily forested,...
* Easy access to high bandwidth internet
* Same timezone (or 1-2 hours) to all US Customers
* Small but high-quality dev & University communities
* Frighteningly devoted local & state infrastructure
* English as the main language
* No visa restrictions
* No international plane ticket expenses

Here's the kicker. It's West Virginia.
