Moving with my family to the US soon, and I have options to live in any of these 4 states - NJ, NY, CT or MS. I mostly work from home, with extensive travel once or twice in a month which is why I have the flexibility to move to any of these states. Below are my pre-requisites in the order of preference -
1) Has to be an Apartment preferably with a good Indian community
2) Safe and decent neighborhood.
3) Rental budget of 1300 - 1500, for a good 2 BHK
4) Less overall cost of living
5) Weather / Climate NOT much of an issue.
6) My baby is a new born, good school district not relevant
Can you please help me suggest what my best options are and also any good community apartments in the places you suggest?
The closest I've come to after doing research on my own is Hartford. Looking forward to your inputs.

You salary also changes with Location but not sure if it is fixed for you. If salary doesn't change, then Hartford is best bet because of low cost of living relatively.

May I ask why only these 3 sates - NY, NJ and CT are neighboring states, but MS is way south.
Coming back to your question, each state has its pros and cons. NY is the most expensive but that's a generalization as its a big state so some areas may not be as expensive as others. NJ is expensive too - has lots of Indians and is more crowded. It will give you the most India-like feeling. CT is also expensive, but relatively less - again some areas are more expensive then others as with all states. Indians are less as compared to NJ/NY but they are plenty - more so in Towns like Stamford, Rocky Hill, Hamden, Manchester, Farmington, AVon - to name a few. Weather in all these states is pretty similar - cold and dreary in winter (5-7 months) with snow many times. It does take some getting used to as these months you are pretty much cooped inside, and outdoor activities are negligible apart from visiting stores, friends house (all indoor activity). Summers are beautiful though and those months make up for the boring winters.
Finally MS - I have no idea. Its a southern state so least Indian population and least expensive as well. I will advice to stay away from MS.

Thank you for all messages, this info is indeed helpful Sorry, I meant MA and not MS! So looks like Rocky Hill and Manchester are two good areas to look at.
