Where to live on the East Coast
I need some advice.
Will be relaocting to the east coast with a new job and have the abitlity to live pretty much where I want, as long an airport is accessable.
My company would suggest Philly or Atlanta, but am I am thinking about Boston as well?
Any adviced or thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

Forget Boston, way too expensive. Have you considered the Ocean State (Rhode Island)? Great state, very small only 50 miles in each direction. Beautiful beaches, subdivisions, and new plats. great neighborhoods and schools. Email me for more info.

I also think Providence is a great location. Its not the deal it was years ago, but its cheaper than Boston. Its a lot like a small Boston without the hassles. Nice easy in and out airport too. Less traffic.
I'd definitely take Boston over Philly. Any day.

Another vote for Providence. It's charming and well-located. A short train ride from NYC or Boston and has a nice, mid-sized airport a short drive from downtown P., much easier to get in and out of than Boston.

A plug for Philly -- the must underrated city on the East Coast. Although there are some horror stories about congestion in the airport, it's incredibly easy to get to by public transit or from the south/west suburbs, and there are nonstops to a lot of places. It's a "homey" city that still boasts incomparable arts and entertainment, great restaurants, etc. The winter is easier than Boston's (but you still have one) and the summer is easier than Atlanta's. And getting to NYC is 2 hrs., WashDC is 2 hrs. (by train or car, both), and Boston is about 6. Pick the right suburb and you've got reasonable real estate and great schools.
Boston's still my heart's hometown, but if someone offered to relocate me to Phila., I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Do you have a family? Kids in school? Do you want city or suburbs? What's your housing budget?
Important facts when deciding where to live.
I love Boston, but without knowing more about you, who can make a recommendation?

i Not true. United and American fly to Providence. I'm sure other do to.
The only airline that goes West of the Mississippi from Providence is Southwest. IOW, it would be very limiting for a frequent traveler because they would constantly have to stop somewhere to get most places.
Someplace like Boston, Philly, Atlanta, Washington, D.C. will allow greater travel flexibility.
