I can't really go that far because my parents and DW's parents live within a 1-2 hour triangle of us and each other. I am also kind of stuck here because of my kids' friends/activities and the low interest rate on our mortgage.

Well, assume kids are out of the house in college. And that you’d rent your home out, not sell.

If you already live in NYC, I'd go from there, to somewhere calmer and quieter. What about Maine?
