Best place to live in New England?

[Blue3]

What's the best place to live in New England? What's the closest place to paradise in those 6 states?

Martha's Vineyard comes to mind straight away, but there must be more...

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

I like rural areas, so I'm biased toward ME/VT/NH/Western Mass.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

MA

[Grumpier Than Thou]

Maine

[Santander]

Overall, probably Portland.

[RINO Tom]

I guess Maine?  New England is kind of cool, but I would not want to live there.

[Blue3]

Why are people picking the places they have so far?

For Martha's Vineyard, its reputation kind of precedes it as a summer getaway island.

[Figueira]

I would say my hometown, but I don't want to give away my location, so I'll just say rural Western MA in general.

What's the area that's the warmest without being too dreary in terms of landscape or culture (ie, not Southwestern CT)?

[Intell]

Boston.

[World politics is up Schmitt creek]

The parts of Western Mass that aren't too overrun by either tempeh-loving critical theorists or the opioid crisis (chauvinist, normal).

What's the area that's the warmest without being too dreary in terms of landscape or culture (ie, not Southwestern CT)?

Cape Cod and the islands are the warmest overall, actually.

Maine seems nice, though since I'm a city person, I'd probably fit in the best in Connecticut.

Huh. I'd never have guessed.

(0-5° is still waaaaaay too cold though )

[Mr. Smith]

Probably Portland, ME

NH

I don't know why everyone is choosing Maine. Hate to be "that guy", but its kind of the Alabama of New England. When I went there I was SHOCKED at how many Baptist churches I saw out in the boonies.

Block Island. Because you can't be more oceanfront than that. Yes there's Martha's Vineyard & Nantucket, but I don't want to listen to that ridiculous accent all day.

Yes, because nothing is worse than having Christians as neighbors.

Baptists aren't Christians, so that's not the issue.

(That was a joke, but feel free to get offended.)

That's not what I meant. Its that Baptists are scuzzy rednecks. Even the Northern Baptists suck. I have no problem with Methodists, Lutherans, etc.

lol, keeping the ancient CT Congregationalist disdain of their Baptist neighbors alive and well, are we?


best place to live in New England is really hard to say, there's so much beauty.    Concord MA would be awesome, so much great history and a nice place to live in general, or maybe up in the mountains like White River Junction, Vt or Conway, NH.

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

If money is not an issue, Martha's Vineyard obviously. For an urban setting, lean Providence. For affordable, probably Vermont. [For a week long trip, I'd probably pick rural Maine.]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Cape Ann. The weather is almost as mild as Cape Cod, but it's a lot easier to get up to NH and ME for a taste of the mountains or to get into Boston for city life. On Cape Ann Rockport remains a quaint New England town mixing lobster boats, artists, commuters and tourists. It also has one of the most iconic harbor buildings in the world as a subject for said artists.
