[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Western NY is gorgeous. What cities would be nice to live in? Ithaca, Rochester? NH and VT are nearby states we’d consider.

We’d love a lower HCOL and not to be more than 70 miles from water. We like concerts, art, movies, friends, the outdoors.

Any suggestions for towns or cities in these places?

I'm stuck on Western NY is gorgeous OP.  Being genuine, why do you think this?  I grew up there.  It has its moments to be sure.  Lovely summers.  But it is most definitely not gorgeous a lot of the year.  It's not just the cold, it's very grey (not a lot of sunshine).  Buffalo has an insane amount of cloudy days per year.  Google this.

The cities are also really struggling and there is a lot of poverty in the rural areas.  There are some nice suburbs.[/quote]

Same poster again. Ithaca is not Western NY.  That would be considered Central NY.  I also lived in Ithaca for a while.  Not dissimilar issues to above.  Has the benefits of what a college town brings, of course.[/quote]
