Western and upstate New York are beautiful year round. We have four wonderful seasons. We have the Fingerlakes, mountains, Lake Ontario. You can find an apartment for $850, but not in downstate.
hi this is my first post. I have never left florida before in my life so i have been stuck here in heat and humidity. Leaves dont change in the fall, and I have never seen snow. I want to move to a place where the autumns will be colorful and crisp, where winters will be white, and summers are not too hot. Id like the average to be 80 degrees F or less. Im looking for a place with a lot of fun things to do and brilliant scenery to explore. Also, rental costs MUST BE LOW(ish). Looking for an apartment for 850 or less for two bed rooms. Any idea where I could go?
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, or the upper Midwest (Wisconsin, Minnesota, da UP).

West Virginia fits your criteria almost to a T. I moved here from Florida and have never looked back.

Coastal CT. You get to feel at home with heat and humidity in the summer (not to same extent), you get the fresh Fall air with leaves changing starting in September. You get snow and cold in Winter, you get quick warmups in Spring but tamed from a cool ocean still. Just from experience, that's all. And you get scenes like this 3-4 months apart
Look into Traverse City, MI. This "hidden gem" just got rated a great place to live.
It's beautiful! On the great lakes, snowy winters, nice summers, low-ish cost of living, not sure about job market.
You do understand that every winter people move out of four season areas. Winter is no joke and can get old fast. As suggested why not just visit or if single and of age join the military and see the world.
Minneapolis would be perfect, but the rental costs here aren't quite that low (that said, you CAN purchase for a good bit less than renting-- there are many houses and condos to be found, in good to great neighborhoods for under $200K-- which should keep your payment under $1K,, if not under $850, after tax deductions). If you're willing to move out of the city and first ring suburbs, it's possible you can find something for $850ish, but you might be a bit more rural/far out than you'd like.
The job market in MN is very strong, too, as are wages- which might offset the higher cost of rent. Ironically, I moved here (to MN) from FL and we LOVE it-- the weather, the people, the schools, EVERYTHING.
Best of luck!
