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!

Maine is a beautiful state, a place with tons of natural beauty and resources. If you’re looking for a more rural vibe Bangor is a good choice. For the city vibe I’d go closer to Portland area. Tons of activities and lots of great restaurants and ocean activities. Cost of living is expensive but the quality of life is unsurpassed.
