I'm thinking about moving back to New England. Difficulty level: I am a single person on a librarian's income with specific criteria for where I'd like to live.
I'm a New Englander considering a move back north. Western MA and parts of Maine/Vermont/NH are definitely on the list. However, I am looking for suggestions of places in Eastern/Central MA that might suit me, since that's where a lot of the jobs are.
I have lived in the Boston area and am not optimistic - all the places I like are crowded and expensive, and the rest seems to be geared toward families/retirees/tourists. However, I don't want to write off most of the state.
Criteria:
-Rentals available for $1200 or less (with an emphasis on the less). I'd be open to more expensive places if they're REALLY awesome, but they'd require me to get a roommate.
-Skews younger / is a good place to meet younger folks. I am in my early thirties, single, and not planning on kids.
-A minimum of urban/exurban sprawl. I could be happy in a downtown, a walkable neighborhood, or a more rural location. Green space is a plus.
-Some traffic okay, but I'd like to get away from the killer metro Boston traffic.
-I'm a sucker for an artsy/crunchy/college town vibe.
Feel free to include suggestions for southern New Hampshire as well. Thanks a bunch! |
