Any East Coasters...?

Re: Any East Coasters...?
"Visited" Ithaca several times. Quite progressive, pretty, mostly well educated people. Can get buried in snow at winter but I personally don't mind at all (in 2 separate years got caught there in a snowstorm and we were still driving when the streets were empty). It is very small though.
You mentioned being fed up of traffic in CA. Anywhere in NJ or anywhere immediately north of NYC it's going to be the same.

I think it's tough when you're just seeing it as a stepping-stone. We were sort of thinking along those lines, but then, is it worth the upheaval when it's not what you ultimately want? I know it's harder for you because of the business.

Can't stand where we are right now...and the heat and sun is killing me..
For the business will be @ 5-7 year before we can leave the US and return to dear old Blighty.
Need somewhere for the interim.
As you know intended O.C. but we've 'ad enough of CA.

I do think it's worth it Sally.

But it could be a nice boost, not trying to be overly negative (for once).

But yes that's another point...I think I find humidity worse than dry heat.
There must be a sliver of the country for me somewhere in the East...

I don't know much about it 'back east' as they always call it in LA (). My husband was saying that places like Washington DC feel more European, but are noticeably more humid.
A wee sliver must exist. Have you been able to explore?

We'll do plenty more visiting in the next couple of years.

Here you go, Hotscot -- found just the house for you, an "English Manor" in CT! Went to a yard sale there today -- not my taste, but I wouldn't say no to the indoor pool!

A mere 20 million dollars, though the Zestimate is only $6 million.
