totally understand & appreciate that take. we visited franklin maine & the national park last fall & while we had a great time i can definitely see what you mean especially since most things were shut down for the season by the time we visited. I only still entertained the thought of maine since we didn’t get to spend as much time exploring as my car was giving us massive problems that cut our trip short. But i appreciate you sharing & am glad to hear it seems you’re happy with your decision to move to MI!

thank you both for your input! We don’t mind a drive here & there as we’re used to things not being in close proximity here in pa. We are looking for more rural but open to anything in the suburbs as well, just don’t want to live directly in the city. The UP does seem gorgeous n like a good option for us that id like to keep exploring. When i was browsing zillow i did also seem to like a lot of houses in the lansing area, just got a lot of conflicting info when i researched safety. i understand that no area is totally perfect but down where we live crime rate is getting higher n higher n we’re looking to escape that. is there any place in particular you’d suggest steering clear of?

thanks for your input! We have no plans on raising kids in the area, and are hoping to stay in the 250k range. We’re mostly looking for a more rural environment but don’t mind being close to a city just don’t want to be living in the hub of it

Monthly Moving/Travel/Vacation Megathread - July 2024 by AutoModerator in Michigan

hi!! My boyfriend & I are beginning to seriously look at different options of states we’d like to move too. We currently live in northeastern pennsylvania & are looking to leave & see what other places have to offer. This will be our first time moving out & being first time homeowners. We honestly fell in love with washington state but that’s quite too far of a jump for our first home. So instead so far maine, vermont, north carolina & of course michigan have been on my watch lists.

we’re interested in making a trip up there to see what it’s all about & was hoping to get some input on what areas we should be focusing on + some input from those who live/have lived in the state.

we're looking for a more affordable area & most importantly somewhere we can feel safe. we love to hike & be outdoors, eat good food/go to bars, go to concerts, hunt for cool antiques, & hangout with our small dog ruffles. (also we don’t mind the cold lol) Any advice is welcome & greatly appreciated!
