I'm not a downtown person. I like what my mom's family has going on in northern Virgina. They live back in the Blue Ridge. No neighbors, beautiful forests, wildlife, the Shenandoah river is within walking distance. One of the most picturesque places I've ever seen. Its a good deal. Winchester is cool little town that's only about 30 mins from them. Lots of history and good food. DC isn't much more than an hour away. Baltimore and Philly are pretty close. I'd like to do something similar some day. I don't want to be some hermit that's hours from anything, but I'd like to be a little outside of the city.
I'd probably go for SF, Seattle, or Boston if I had to pick a downtown, though.
