Given that you have a job and the sections of each state that you can commute from to be within your 45 minute radius, I'd absolutely go with Rhode Island. There are a bunch of excellent communities within your reach in RI.

I'd check out East Greenwich (Wickford Village), Newport, Middletown, N. Kingston, and many others.

How important is diversity to you?

If you want some diversity, look at Westerly RI or New London CT.
Both have downtown and walkable areas.
