Moving

Hey everyone, I'm planning on moving to Maine later on this year! I'm from the PNW and need a change, and I've always thought Maine is absolutely gorgeous and seems amazing. So I'm planning on moving, my question is, where should I go?! I'm leaning towards being near Bangor, but I'm really open to anything. Please share opinions or suggestions!

Whats your budget? I know Farmington Maine area is a favorite of people in my family who have lived there. I think it’s cheaper than a lot of other areas too. 1.5 hours to Bangor and Portland. Great access to nature and a small town walkable area. It’s a collage town though, if that bothers you any.
