Philadelphia seemed to be a very underrated city with lots of potential, especially due to its location between the beaches and mountains. New York City I think has already seen an over investment in projects and with the current sate of the economy there- wall street fallout, I am not that certain it will recover back to how it once was for some time. In addition the state has surmounting fiscal and social problems more so than others. Boston was nice but I felt the same way when I was there, like another poster said "It could flat-line itself," its missing something!

Thanks for the great responses, very helpful insight

For a long term investment, I say Baltimore. It's in close proximity to DC for jobs, plus the Baltimore region will be gaining a lot of jobs from BRAC at Ft. Meade and Aberdeen. Baltimore is where DC was 10 years ago, I think will continue to see redevelopment even through this recession.

Don't just say Boston because its your hometown. You honestly think it would be better for a small business and real-estate investment than the other cities?

I think the others have more potential to grow, especially Baltimore and Washington. The market in Boston has been decreasing in recent years.
