Yes! I bought mine in a depressed market. I am from Connecticut and I LOVE Boston! My grandfather's people are from there. It is one of my favorite hangouts back home. That and NYC.
I have never lived back up there as opportunity never knocked, but, still love New England. Florida is great for the year-round outdoors, especially if you love boating/gold. I like southwest and I also lived up in Mexico Beach on the Panhandle. Sadly, the entire street was taken out by Hurricane Michael. Usually, there is more hype than damage, but, it can be damaging.
Well, sorry for talking your ear off!
But, the hurricane parties are the best!
