Thank you! I think I'm leaning towards Manchester this is exactly the advice I was looking for.

This may help, too:

Manchester is kid gloves for people used to real cities, but there's some areas ("the tree streets") that generally have the majority of the crime.

There's nowhere I feel uncomfortable walking in Manchester, really outside of places that would be sketchy anywhere alone at night.

I moved here about a year and a half ago after graduating from college and I love it. Underrated food scene, fun bars, nice parks. Plus it’s super convenient for everything, 1 hr to the mountains, beach, and Boston. I’m not really into running much myself but my favorite brewery, To Share, has a running club which sounds like something you might be interested in.
