I lived in Oahu a couple of years and it's nice if you're loaded. My wife was there for grad school and our 400 sf apartment on University Ave. might as well have been in Omaha, since it had about the same amount of scenic splendor. Everything is also very expensive; going to the grocery store was painful.

I lived in far northern MN and ND and was very happy in both places. Now there's your peace and quiet.
If you get off 27/441 and go downtown, Leesburg appears a lot different. Also the park and marina along Rt 44 is very attractive.
