Where is the BEST place to live in New England?

New Hampshire has no income or sales tax, so it can be cheap. But there are high property taxes depending on where you live. The southern part of the state is really beautiful and nice because it's close (less than 2 hrs by car) to Boston. And it all depends on what you consider "fun". If you like outdoor activities like hiking, rock climbing, kayaking, skiing, etc. this is also a great place. Nice place to raise young children as well. I'd suggest looking into Keene and Nahsua. \n\nIf you are looking for more "city life" excitement and less traditional NE countryside, then Boston suburbs are nice (but a bit more expensive). I have spent a few summers living in Wellesley, MA and while it's really nice I it's also quite expensive. But the towns right around Wellesley are a bit cheaper and just as nice. I suggest looking there. Good luck! NE is the best!

Missouri Has the Best Cost of Living and would be nice, I'm  told the weather is modest..however Washington State has the Highest Minimum Wage and they have it good there with your option of Ocean, Mountain,etc and a wide varity of job Markets.

The New England Colonies include Massachusetts (which included Maine athe time), Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Vermont.  Boston was the chief city for the New Endland Colonies and was founded in 1630.  \n\nLook on wikipedia.org for a better description.

Asheville is a fantastic place to live. Between the kindness of the community to the beauty of the mountains, there are more Pros than Cons. Downtown is very urban, with amazing galleries and eateries. Outside the city you have the best sightseeing, biking, hiking, kayaking, skiing. Property values are increasing at a steady rate. If you dont buy in town, Black Mountain and Weaverville are other excellent spots.

i used to live there (for over ten years) and have several suggestions:\n\n-newport- there are some great views of the ocean along with cool mansions built during the jazz age. also great restaurants and shops.\n\n-providence- they have really transformed the city and the waterfront is now really cool to visit. also near RISD and Brown is a nice area with older homes. roger williams park and zoo is worthwhile as well.\n\n-narragansett/south kingstown- the beaches are great. surfers consider the town beach in narr. one of the best on the east coast. moonstone beach (if it is open to visitors) is also a great beach with lots of cool stones and shells. historically, people from conn. and mass. go down to ri for the best beaches\n\n-uri- the state university has a nice campus in Kingston with a pretty quad and interesting old and new buildings - one is even shaped like a castle.\n\n-enjoy

If you like bigger cities Charlotte is a good place. There is much growth in the triangle (Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Chapel Hill). In the coast there are more things too do. North Carolina actually has the most growth in United States right now. But if you want to live in a calmer area i suggest in the mountains someplace like Asheville. In the triangle there are malls, downtown clubs, movies, shopping centers etc. I think youd like it.

Mexico. Preferably northern. Beautiful and inexpensive, rich and friendly culture. Close to home(if ur from the US). You shouldn't live near a beach though in my opinion. What if a brutal storm comes?? say goodbye to your belongings, some where a couple of miles away form the water would be good. That way you can go to the beach as a treat and it wont become mundane.

Assuming you would live in the same place all year round, I would chose South Carolina, at Myrtle Beach. The summer months are near perfect and doesn't get too cold in the winter. Not to mention how much slower life moves there; far slower than the hustle and bustle of most major cities. Outside of the US, I would live in either the Caribbean or across the ocean in Italy. But if you want to be treated like royalty, India is it. The difference in price there is amazing. $200,000 would be like having more than a million in the US.

If you like the heat you can go and find a nice house in Phoenix, AZ or Las Vegas, NV. \n\nPortland, OR has good pricing too. Seattle, WA is very reasonable too.

I used to live up there. There's a lot to do. A few highlights would be Faneuil Hall, the gardens, some of the Freedom Trail, Harvard Square, Back Bay, the North End for good Italian food. Great clubs and bars in the Faneuil Hall area and Landsdown Street.
