A few places come to mind:
1) East of the Ered Nimrais mountains in western Gondor. (Or, conversely, sout west of Helm's deep.
2) FOTR and the Hobbit mention settlers living between the Misty Mountains and the western edge of Mirkwood.
3) If you want a dwarvish settlement, there's always the Iron Hills.
4) I'm not sure if anything is mentioned in the BOLT or some of Tolkein's lesser works, but Ered Luin (north of the Grey Havens) or the Blue Mountains could work.
