…Just because of its name. Its name comes from Latin "trans-," meaning "through," and "silva," meaning "woods." I just imagine that it’s a secretive land surrounded by a deep dark dense forest. By name alone, it’s worthy of fairy tales [and vampires].
I would also like to live in Elizabethtown or Allentown, but the reasons for that are humorous, not etymological.

Yes, by meaning and literary history, Transylvania is a great location for fantastical beings.
