Annapolis MD or Newburyport MA
 

My husband and I live in California and are pretty fed up with the cost of living and wages. Since most of our family lives on the east coast, we are considering re-locating. We definitely want to live on or near the water, beautiful surroundings artistic community and a smaller city or town setting. We are looking into Annapolis and Newburyport.

I would love to hear from anyone who knows both of these places and which one you would recommend and why? We are going to plan a trip back east in the spring.

Any other favorite east coast towns?

How strange...did you post this twice? I already answered it.

My Dad's family is from Newburyport and it's a beautiful city. But it's a pretty expensive place, unless you're from the SF area, I doubt you'll find home prices to be that much better. Otherwise, it has everything you're interested in.

Thank you Wyatt92. I live in a city in Central CA that is pretty much the same price wise as SF. CRAZY expensive. Newburyport looks extremely cute and I am looking forward to checking it out.

There will be a big difference in the weather between the two. Annapolis will be hot and humid during the summer but gorgeous in the fall and spring and fairly mild in the winter. You'll have a cold winter and dreary spring in Newburyport but your summers and falls will be lovely.
