Several in our indoc moved to NY area with their families. I also have friends living in central NJ and PA (seems to be the location of choice for lower taxes but longer commute). Folks complain about covering 3 airports but I didn't mind it so much but long distance commuting is painful/stressful and living in a crashpad is mind numbing.
I lived in base housing so wanted to only do one move. I found out after the fact that the AF would have moved me off base initially when my time ran out there and then paid for a final move once I decided on a final location.
