Of places that I know of/have visited:

NY - High Peaks area - LP, Keene, etc - really one of the more gorgeous and wild areas in the NE
NH - N. Conway, Whites - Tons to do, climbing/skiing/biking, all very close together
MA - just outside Boston - have many good friends around there and love Boston as a city for it's homeyness and culture... and it's not too far away from the Whites
FL - Key West or maybe some other key - Not a fan of the rest of Florida and the ridiculous humid summers and hurricanes... but if I could live in Key West I'd take up scuba and probably other water sports and possibly be fine without mountains around.

funny... I like VT, especially to ski, but no area has really drawn me for living. But I guess I'd pick Burlington if I had to.

Places I haven't really visited but would probably consider:
CO
WY
ID
CA
MT
AK

Most likely we'll be looking at a primary or second residence in the dax within the next 5 years. That's the plan, which is always subject to change.

+ Nice idea come on up North Moe !!, We came up here 4 decades ago and STAYED even tho i had several offers to go to colleges elsewhere . The "North Country" lifestyle is VERY laidback and outdoors oriented

ME- Portland- Cape Elizabeth

A total New England person, wouldn't live anywhere else. To be honest, will never leave Cape Cod, will always have a house up north. Best of both worlds. I don't mind driving, plus in 30 years I can split my time between them.

I fell in love with it years ago, and it is still largely unexplored for us, so if all goes according to plan, we'll make it happen.

If I lose my job in the financial sector here near Wall St, I will SERIOUSLY consider moving to VT. I'm kinda sick of the rat race, et al...

BTW - my job involves computers, not finance. I have no idea what goes on with the traders etc...

If I *had* to move, I'd consider ADK, southwest corner of Montana, Hatteras, NC, Summit County, CO, Key West, FL. All of thess places have lots to like about them, but none have what I like best about where I live. Here in NW NJ, access to mountains and sea are a day trip. I am close enough to Metropolis that it's easily accessed, but far enough away that the crazy rarely makes it out this way.

the "Live Free or Die" state
we moved from MA to NH earlier this year. Tried to get here for 3 years so I'm not going anywhere again any time soon.

We've needed quite a bit of medical care since arriving and I am pleasantly surprised at the quality of what's available in the Lakes Region. There's a nice ortho center about 5 miles from Gunstock, now how convenient is that? My husband hurt himself at work and we were in and out of the ER in under an hour. Then he had surgery at the ortho center 3 weeks later and they were wonderful.

Gunstock was my least favorite places to ski in NH, but it's better than nothing and now I'm just a short drive from anywhere else I may want to go, instead of 3+ hours like from the Cape.

So yeah, we're staying put for now :)

<edit to add> and I don't really need to worry about schools any more since both of my kids are now grown and gone. Unless I decide to get a job, and let's hope it doesn't come to that!
