Western and northern NY are a different world. There is some beautiful housing stock and prices are low. But, the economy sucks and many towns are seedy or downright dangerous. I don't know your tastes, but I love the Adirondacks. It's sparsely populated with great hiking, rock climbing, etc. Nice people, too. Lake Placid is a nice compromise. Lots of restaurants and shopping and easy to get out to the wilderness.

I keep trying to tell her there is a reason you can get a 5 bedroom victorian house with a huge lot in these areas for under 250k. No one wants to live there. I imagine the Adirondacks are likely similar to a larger scale version of where we live now. I would love to check them out.

Lake Placid is also a college hockey mecca. We took a family vacation up there last summer
