As for building amenities, ideally a really good gym, place to grill out, pool and hot tub would be nice too lol. We’re pretty good at finding places but not as sure about specific cities/areas to focus on.

I think you should be looking at moving to somewhere like Austin if you want all those amenities for $3k/month lol. Boston is small and we get like 2 months of “pool” weather a year. Our big apartment complexes might have 1-2 grills for communal use. I don’t know anywhere for $3k/month with a pool or hot tub lol. Maybe I’m just a pleb though

LOL...we've lived our entire lives in the upper midwest (Wisconsin and Minnesota) so are very familiar with the cold (actually you guys get warmer weather than we do, at least in the winter). Main reason we're looking out east is we have family in New Hampshire (but we prefer to be closer to a larger city). Like I said, not that we're wanting to stay directly in Boston, but more the towns north of there.

I've been scouting on Apartments.com and can find quite a few places in the $3500 range, some with and without a pool (although that's not as big of a deal)...
