There are 6 states that make up the New England states and I want to live in one of them. I drove throw them but don't know much about them except that I love greenery, falling leaves, rain, but not a whole lot of snow. I'm 64 retire and can't afford a house except in Maine. I need to live by a VA hospital so I thought I might rent an apartment of some type with a patio or small little yard for my dog. I could afford about $1200 a month. I'm living in Phoenix now and the heat and air pollution is getting to me. Any suggestions?
I'd recommend Manchester, New Hampshire which has a VA hospital/facility. You'll get more choices within your budget in terms of places to live, a larger city with plenty of services and things-to-do, plus the idyllic New England lifestyle you're looking for. I sent you a direct message with apartment listings that are dog-friendly in your price range.
Where I grew up in NY, many areas were un-plowed dirt roads through hills or gorges.
I'd still say that the vast majority of Upstate NY is prepared for snow removal.
