Just monthly housing budget, ideally including utilities

Fair enough! Thanks for the input!

Fair advice on the Google radius!

I would love any suggestions on good parks/hikes. My ideal location would be one where I could easily do a trail run or at least a long walk during my lunch break (so something within 15-20 minutes), and then drive no more than an hour and a half on the weekend to a broader variety of trails or parks.

I've also found that karaoke, trivia, live music, etc does not necessarily mean a big town. I currently live in a 2k population town about 40m outside Denver, and they have their own rotation of karaoke nights & live music that are moistly sufficient for me (I supplement by driving into Denver on occasion). But it's hard to know which little towns have these things without actually having lived near/in them. I'm hoping there are towns other than Portland that offer what I'm describing & that the kind folks of reddit can help me identify them!

Hi all! I'm a 31yo F planning to stay in Maine for October & November. My main goal is to enjoy the fall foliage & the outdoors, and hopefully not break the bank (max budget ideally $2100/month). I would like to live within an hour of hikes or parks or other outdoor attractions. I would also like to be within an hour of a more urban area so I can check out, say, karaoke or live music in the evening. What Maine neighborhoods would you recommend? Greatly appreciate any insights you might have!
