East Coast
Where Boston sits
The eastern seaboard of a landmass, but in American usage, almost always the Atlantic coast of the United States—from Maine to Florida.
The term carries cultural weight beyond geography, suggesting urban density, old money, Ivy League institutions, and a faster pace of life: She moved from the East Coast to California.
Often contrasted with the West Coast in discussions of culture, politics, and lifestyle.
