Given these constraints I might consider the area just outside the suburbs of NYC. It gets very affordable in (say) Northeastern Pennsylvania or upstate New York. If you need to find a non remote job, the big job markets of Northern New Jersey or Westchester.

What other considerations do you have though? What sort of lifestyle do you want? Country living? A town? A small city?

I'm not too picky on lifestyle, wherever I end up I'll likely spend most of my time indoors. My perfect location would be a large town/small city but again, not too concerned either way.

Maybe look at Hackettstown, NJ. It’s a college town in the NYC exurbs, but it’s at the tail end of a commuter rail line that can get you to NYC (with one transfer either to another train, subway, or ferry).
