Has to be a small town, less than 5,000 people.. With in 50 miles of Corning.. I'd prefer it to have no interstates, no rivers; no dams above it and no major flood issues. It would be nice if it had a volunteer ambulance service.. as I'm an EMT, and that's all I've ever done is volunteer.. Going to Corning College..
I have no high expectations.. Just don't like busy towns, highways and floods.
How about Caton? No highway there, no reason to drive through unless that's where you're going.
I would have suggested Addison, a bit more of an actual town off the highway but not too far out, but that's on the mighty (and actually leveed through town) Canisteo River.
I'm also wondering about planning a decade to go through a two-year school.
I don't know about floods, as that area has had some major floods in the past, but I'm sure there are some places better than others. You might likie places like Odessa, Montour Falls, Hammondsport, Jasper and Elkland PA.
it's hard to escape the potential for flooding in the area - just be smart about where you buy
between the melting of the snow and spring rains things can get pretty muddy and flood
there are a ton of small towns in the area though -
most of the towns that have population are either along the chemung, canisteo (like addison & cameron) or conhocton (campbell, savona, kanona, avoca) rivers ....... it's just the way places settled, rivers were important to living so that is where you have populations and little towns
there are smaller towns between towns that could be of interest
bradford is pretty remote and doesn't have any major rivers that go through it
also small communities like tyrone, meads creek, monteray
now that I think of it look towards jasper, troupsburg or greenwood
however, i'd be more worried about getting up spencer hill in the winter than dealing with any major flooding ....... just really look into the actual plot of land you settle on
there were some places back there that would seemingly flood over every year and the spot next to it and across the road would be fine
