[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]4 years for us!  Requirements (we haven't yet figured it out, but am watching this thread for ideas):
Blue state
Good medical care
Within 50 minutes of an International Airport 
College town a plus, but not tiny college and not big state U
Would like to be on a natural lake, but not a deal breaker
4 seasons, ok if winters are miserable, we will head to Costa Rica or Puerto Rico for 2 months
Ok if summers are humid and miserable, we will head to Maine or Oregon for 2 months[/quote]

Princeton, NJ (has Lake Carnegie which was person-made) close to Newark and Philly airport, easily get to NYC, beach, and has many different events (many public) b/c of the university. Nice restaurants, walk and bike able, McCarter Theater has great productions, train right there and has great hospitals. Cute downtown movie theater, bike and walking path along the lake. But taxes are $.

Also, I second Madison or Milwaukee, WI. Purple state, but cities are blue.  Granted, winter is freezing and airports are easy to navigate and get through not not really international.  Granted, you could take a flight from Milwaukee to Chicago and then to wherever you want to go.  [/quote]

What "hospitals" are you referring to in Princeton area as "great"? There is just one, in Plainsboro, and it just ok. You will need to go to north Jersey for great hospitals.[/quote]

Penn Medicine is close-by and also Robert Wood Johnson in New Brunswick. Children's Hospital of Philadelphia has some services at Penn Medicine in Plainsboro too.

I guess hospitals aren't "great" anymore.  Someone I know just had an awful experience at a top hospital in Boston.

I am saying easy to be seen and have good doctors.  [/quote]

Yeah there are great hospitals but those listed are ok not great (just because hospital was in Princeton for a long time and has affluent clientele doesn't mean anything) not trying to be sparky just saying don't move to that area just for the hospitals. The hospital center in Hamilton is good I think even though back in the day Hamilton had a reputation for being a lower class area. But otherwise great hospitals can be found in 1 to 1.5 hour radius. Central New Jersey however is extraordinarily safe and has beautiful neighborhoods and a highly educated population. Signed, someone who grew up there and has parents still in the area.[/quote]

Thanks, I live in Princeton (and not all of it is affluent FYI). I had great (recent) experiences with Penn Medicine, Robert Wood Johnson, and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

I was replying to the commenter who wanted certain things when they moved so I was mentioning how there is good medical care in central NJ including Capital Health!
