Reply to comment by temporaryCognition in My partner and I are thinking about moving to Rhode Island by temporaryCognition

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 :)
