I've been living in a HCOL major east coast city for many years during my working career. Planning to retire in a couple of months and then spend a couple of months traveling. That takes me to the late spring time and a desire to find a place to live, at least initially while I figure out what I want to do with the rest of my life.
Single, no pets...love urban/cultural as much as back roads/peaceful.
For various reasons, I am targeting the first couple of years spent in the Hudson Valley area of NY state, preferably, west of the river.
Would appreciate any suggestions for towns to focus in on - proximity to public transport to NYC is a plus (train or bus) - as well towns where musicians tend to congregate.
I am aware of the downsides- cost, rust belt relics, etc.
Thanks!
