Curious where America is heading? Here are 5 states we’re keeping our eyes on in 2025 — straight from our founder's perspective.

Overview:

Presence News shares its top five recommended U.S. states based on lifestyle, investment potential, freedom, and cultural energy—culminating in a public founder reveal on August 14 via Zoom.

Curated by Presence News Owner | Article Release: June 1, 2025

At Presence News, we focus on what truly matters — not just trends, but transformations. This year, our founder has compiled a curated list of five U.S. states they believe are shaping the future in meaningful ways. This isn’t a tourism checklist or data-driven analysis — it’s an on-the-ground perspective shaped by travel, interviews, and personal experience.

👤 Mark your calendars: Our owner’s identity will be revealed during a live Zoom Q&A on August 14, 2025. DM us on Instagram to receive your invite.


1. Texas: The Powerhouse of Autonomy

Texas leads our list thanks to its magnetic pull on billionaires, tech founders, and creatives. Why? A low-regulation business climate, strong personal freedom, and booming cities like Austin and Dallas. It’s where independence meets opportunity — and everyone’s watching.


2. Florida: Freedom, Sunshine, and Rising Markets

Florida isn’t just for retirees anymore. With no state income tax, a responsive political climate, and an influx of young families and professionals, the Sunshine State is glowing bright for lifestyle seekers and investors alike.


3. South Carolina: The Quiet Magnet

Charleston, SC is emerging as the go-to haven for celebrities and visionaries looking for elegance without the spotlight. It’s not about fast money — it’s about long-term peace, historic charm, and coastal living that nurtures creativity.


4. New York (City): Still the World’s Stage

Despite media noise and rising scrutiny, New York City continues to be a cultural and economic engine. If you can navigate the spotlight and understand the rhythm, NYC remains unmatched for ambition, influence, and career acceleration.

5. Pennsylvania: America’s Manufacturing Soul

While overlooked by the coasts, Pennsylvania holds unique value in its artisanal and small-scale manufacturing, especially among Amish and Mennonite communities. For those building legacy brands rooted in craftsmanship, this state still delivers


Final Thoughts

These five states represent more than location — they reflect values, opportunities, and shifts in the American story. Whether you’re investing, relocating, or just staying informed, these places deserve your attention in 2025.
