Everyone has an ideal list of stuff they look for before moving, man. Otherwise I'd throw a dart at a globe. I know I won't hit all these points but it sure helps narrow it down.

Dang, this is a really good point, and exactly why I asked here. Thank you, that's very good to know and consider!

Oh I mean 6ish is fine, that's doable for a weekend trip back home. Spent a month in Coudersport and that was a heavy 8 hours to and fro. Lancaster sounds super cool, will look it up! Thanks a ton! That's a good tip about the Poconos area, that can easily be a deal breaker

I am...into the punk scene, haha La Anna jumped out at me only because it was surrounded by green, and also is my name! Stroudsburg is a place you'd recommend?

Here in Massachusetts, single rooms in a shared house are going for $8-900!

I'd say a comfortable rent would be a max of around $1200

The La Anna area I've been looking in has 2bdr for around $750 This is just my ideal checklist, nothing will ever be perfect. Just included that note as I'm not exactly looking for a Frasier Crane penthouse suite
