Thinking about relocating to Chautauqua County, but not sure if it’s the best fit for your family?

We have compiled a FREE guide to support your decision.

📍 This is Chautauqua County — where remote workers trade a city commute for a lake view, entrepreneurs get actual support to build something that lasts, and a lower cost of living means your paycheck actually goes somewhere.

This isn't a county you pass through. It's one you build a life in.

You know that friend who's always talking about needing a change of zip code?

Send them this, it might be their right fit.

Feeling like there’s nowhere to go to actually meet people in your field?
That’s about to change. 🤝

Chautauqua County has two professional organizations built specifically for people who want to grow their careers, build real connections, and actually enjoy the place they live.

Live CHQ sat down with Monica Simpson of CCPEG and the CHQ Professionals Group, and Dan Siracuse of United Way and Jamestown Young Professionals to talk about what community-building actually looks like here — the events, the networking, the friendships, and the doors that open when you just show up.

Here’s what stood out: events are low-cost or free to attend. Membership costs nothing.

👥 And the people you meet? They become your network, your colleagues, and your friends.

Whether you’re a young professional already here, an entrepreneur building something in Chautauqua County, or someone considering a move — this is the kind of community that makes the decision easy.

This is the weekend you stopped having to plan for. 🌊

Wineries. Hiking trails. Mountain biking. Canoeing. The beach. A splashpad for the kids. Dinner at a restaurant that actually has a wait list.

All of it. In one county. Where you live.

This is for the person who keeps saying “we should do something this weekend” — and then doesn’t. Because the good stuff always feels like it’s somewhere else. Somewhere that requires a plan, a drive, a reservation made three weeks ago.

It’s not.

It’s right here. And it’s called Chautauqua County.

If you keep saying you need more life in your weekends — it’s time to explore. 📲 LIVECHQ.ORG
