This is really useful to know because I do like the idea of being on the outer edges of the city. I was in gang territory in SF and they kept to themselves. But knowing that the commute is so short is helpful. I've been considering Atlantic City for the same reason. I just want a place where the weather is better than Portland OR but it sounds like literally anywhere is better.

I’m glad it was helpful info for you! Flourtown, Germantown, and Cherry Hill (that’s NJ) are some other nice ones.
I quite like Atlantic City. Way less hectic than Philly, but you still have that great location.
I hear you on Oregon. Either way, moving to the east coast is a great idea. Just a matter of where fits you best.
I’m originally from Florida and moving this way improved my quality of life ten-fold. Most states have great healthcare, great proximity to other cities/nature, tons of top-notch schools, access to immense history/art, and you can find higher paying jobs here.
If you were able to handle SF crime/HCOL, I think you’re good in this general area then.
I wish you luck on finding your new home! Feel free to message if you need any other advice. It’s not easy but so worth it.

Thanks that's super encouraging! A lot of online videos spin it like if you don't end up in a perfect part of New England you're just gonna drown in crime and misery so it's nice to hear that things are more normal than that. I'll definitely message you if I have any questions :)
