If you\u2019re a snowbird seeking reprieve from winter weather but don\u2019t want to settle for a more popular sun-soaked place, a new study has identified some \u201chidden gem\u201d cities to avoid the cold and the crowds.<\/p>\n

Architectural Digest published a study which ranked 75 U.S. cities fit for snowbird season \u2014 which typically ranges from October through April and sends huge flocks of people to warmer states such as Texas, Arizona and Florida.<\/p>\n

The cities were ranked based on housing and lodging availability, Yelp ratings for activities and eateries, home sale prices, and winter weather conditions to determine the best cities for snowbirds.<\/p>\n

To be considered a \u201chidden gem destination\u201d, each location needed highly rated yet lesser-known establishments with only six to 75 Yelp reviews, \u201cindicating that they are still relatively undiscovered.\u201d<\/p>\n

Best city with an undiscovered food and drink scene<\/h2>\n

The study found that Gilbert, Arizona, had the most hidden gem bars and restaurants on Yelp (150), followed by New Orleans (107).<\/p>\n

Best city for nature enthusiasts<\/h2>\n

Researchers found that Mobile, Alabama, had an abundance of top-rated hiking trails with light traffic, making it the number one pick for those \u201cwho want to enjoy the peace and quiet of the great outdoors.\u201d<\/p>\n

Best city for hidden gem activities<\/h2>\n

You can find the most \u201chidden gem\u201d beaches, parks, walking trails, botanical gardens, health retreats, and lakes in Sedona, Arizona, according to Yelp ratings reviewed for the study.<\/p>\n

If a top priority is to buy a home, Arizona was also home to two of the top three most affordable cities for purchasing a home\u2014Ajo and Bisbee.<\/p>\n

Ajo has the most affordable homes on Zillow, with an average cost of $161,048, researchers found.<\/p>\n
