About the Region

New England

New England includes coastal cities, inland valleys, forested uplands, and mountain communities. Boston, Providence, Portland in Maine, and Burlington offer different settings; access to the coast, universities, or larger job centers depends on the specific location.

Coastal and inland weather can differ, as can conditions at higher elevations. Housing costs, transport options, and access to services also vary between metropolitan areas and smaller towns. Use the local figures and monthly climate charts to compare the city itself.
