Which of these area is best for newbie to invest in?

[Eric DeVito]

Hello, I have been doing research and narrowing down the areas I am interested in investing in that is also not to far where I live which is currently NYC. Just curious what the more experienced people here think about these areas I have chosen and can give some advice. Thank you.

The following in no particular order:

1) Philly, PA

2) Bridgeport, CT

3) Upstate, NY ( Looking at Poughkeepsie area/Orange County )
