I feel like the Northampton-Amherst area might be a good fit, though you're fairly remote relative to living inside of, say, 495. Long, long way from a bustling environment.
There was another thread regarding regional Northeast towns that balance an International crowd, arts, and education. Northampton and Amherst certainly do that well.. Surprising the levels of higher education attainment and International transplants in Amherst in particular. I suppose it's because of the colleges.
OP, if broader Massachusetts does become a consideration, I'd look in that belt. People that move there from Eastern Massachusetts never come back. Lower COL, good education, heavier focus on arts, environment, outdoors, healthy lifestyle. Not sure $1500 will get you very far, but would only assume teaching salaries start in the mid $70s, so that might change your budget.
