If you enjoy these videos I would love to hear about it. Most of these videos are made to help people who are thinking about relocating, looking for real estate, or just wanting to learn about the United States. We look at the best and worst cities, states, towns, and neighborhoods in the United States. But, most of the time focus on the negative side of locations. If you only want some happy positive information about a city, town, or state, I would suggest looking up local mortgage and real estate companies or maybe the locations website. They are trying to sell you something so it will be nothing but sunshine, rainbows and a bunch of smoke up your skirt. They won't tell you about crime, poverty, bail bondsmen, or insurance you'll need because of natural disasters. I will. And I will try and make it entertaining.

Sorry about the Kennebunkport ME arrow being over Oklahoma. When I fixed something else it got messed up and didn't catch it.

You should do a list of the best New England towns for people who aren’t disgustingly rich

[evandrodacostafilho]

Portsmouth, NH is my favorite place in the US

[ChristopherAbelman]

The home I purchased in 2023 has appreciated by $60, 000 since my acquisition. However, the downside is the diminishing value of the dollar. I am currently contemplating strategies to reinvest $300, 000 in the real estate market.

[Sammykyt]

I have been to most of these places because I live in Massachusetts

[gregwarner]

Kennebunkport ME is not located in Oklahoma despite your pointer.

Essex even has their own little steam railroad and riverboat. Really nice town

[Sammykyt]

I strongly agree with Acadia National Park. I have been there and it's a very beautiful place with some things to do to like the beaches and Thunder Hole

[audiooddities]

I was in New England a few years ago, and i was just in awe of how amazing it was up there.

[donnawalker]

I would love to see a video of Top Ten towns that enjoy all 4 seasons without excessive temperature swings, affordability for someone getting ready to retire, not huge but still have plenty of restaurants, shopping, culture. Paradise 😐

[Sammykyt]

Thank you I live in Massachusetts and always love seeing lists about New England 🙂

[rayrosch]

Williamstown, Mass. aka “The village beautiful”. Home of Williams College. Affordable, peaceful, home of the Clark museum.

[Chris-jmzk]

In New Hampshire it’s tough to beat Rockingham County in the SE corner of the state, hour to Boston and the same to the mountains with the ocean just minutes away. I’ve been here 35 years and love it.

[ahmd]

Do the best AFFORDABLE places to live in New England.

[rayguimond]

I'm originally from Maine and dying to move back. Currently live in the south but the cost of living scares the hell out of me. Living in the south is so cheap I don't know if I could afford it. New England I think is the prettiest part of the country.

[trailrvs]

I would like best small towns of the inter mountain west. Towns in Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Montana etc

[VTs_UFHB]

Cool to see Vermont make the list twice.
Also New Hampshire having Hanover making the list is nice to see.

[tenofivelips]

Great list. New England is my favorite. Drive 6A from Sandwich to Ptown and you would swear you've been transported back to the 1700's. Stockbridge is exactly as you describe it, like 6A, another time capsule.

[Sixbears]

You can't go wrong in much of New England. I love it here. Currently living in one of those "undiscovered" small towns, so I can actually afford my place on a small lake with a blue collar retirement.

Native of NH, and yes, much of New England is wonderful. Great quality of life, genuine folks, mountains, lakes, ocean so close.
Can’t wait to leave Illinois and return there.
