You need to write it as shown above. You need "are" because "choices" is plural. This is like:

(Living in London) and (living in Poole) are both good choices

Thank you so much
But in my question I want to mention two cities with using ( or ) ( not and ) in this situation should I use plural ( are + choices ) or ( is + choice ) ?

Use the sentences I showed you in the quote boxes.

The subject of those sentences is "living", not the cities, so those sentences are not quite like what you're asking here now.
