25F wanting to leave NYC
Have lived in NYC for 3 years (after living in Boston for 4) and wanting to move. Originally from the south and miss some aspects of that lifestyle…the nature, the politics. Tired of some of the sacrifices you have to make living in NYC like paying an astronomical amount in rent to not have a dishwasher, laundry, normal size apt. Just think my nervous system needs a reset and don’t think it’s sustainable to live in fight or flight every time I leave my apt.
What I’m looking for:
-safety***** and cleanliness
-seasons (don’t want hot all year round or too extreme of winters)
-run a lot and miss running on trails, the beach, near lakes/mountains
-play tennis and access to tennis courts in NYC is some of the worst in the country (so expensive, not enough courts for the number of ppl)
-lower cost of living
-walkable (not in the sense of not needing a car but in the sense of going for leisurely walks is normal)
-work in finance
-would be willing to move abroad
