I want to live in a state that has low or no taxes on ss; low taxes in general and housing costs are not thru the roof. I also want to be near a medical center. I was thinking Florida, **bleep** or TN. Not sure what other states fit my criteria. I live in the CA. Bay Area now. I just became a first time grandmother so living too far away probably won't work. **bleep** is probably my best bet? Need to check this out. Any suggestions anyone?

You are reading my mind...or better yet, been reading over my shoulder for the last 2 months! I’m 62 but looking at different places to semi-retire in 5 or 6 years. The southeastern coast of the US looks pretty darn good. I’d like to be away for November through March, minimum. My plans are when I come back in April, I will take care of dogs from mid-April through October. I’d love to use that $ made over those 6+ months to pay for my rental for the next November through March, that way never having to touch my social security for the rent once I retire at 70. I could go to a different part of the southeast coast every year! South Carolina and Florida look the most interesting to me right now. And living steps from the water...wow! My fantasy come true.

If you want to live near the water, you may want to check out Delaware (Oceanview, Rehoboth Beach, Lewes, Bethany Beach). It is inexpensive to live there, there is no sales tax and they do not tax you on your pension. My husband and I are looking at Oceanview when we are ready to retire.

@al54333720 - I live in NJ, and I've considered a move to the area of Delaware you mention. I'd prefer to be in a single family home, but those beach towns don't seem to have walkable downtowns with good shopping. Condo communities seem to be further inland. Do you live there .. how walkable are the towns, and are they inundated with vacationers/part-time residents in the summer?

I presently live in the Northern Virginia area, but we are looking to eventually retire in Delaware for the reasons that I mentioned earlier. I like Ocean View because it is a small town, which is close to Bethany Beach, but you are not inundated with the beach goers. Rehoboth Beach is 20 minutes away, so if you want to go shopping, they have the big Tanger Outler there, and you are also about 20 minutes away from Ocean City, Maryland, which they also have the outlets in Ocean City, but you are smart to shop in Delaware because there is no sales tax. Personally, I feel Delaware is a win win for me, and I would definitely research the Ocean View, Delaware area if you are contemplating Delaware. Best of luck!! 🙂

People moving to the area have made living conditions unbearable, needless to say they are not welcomed with open arms. Traffic is horrible, housing is unaffordable. The infrastructure of the area has not kept up with the population growth.

Florida is Hot and Humid during the summer and depending on where you live it can get quite cold during the winter. I am so ready for Winter.
But we do not have a State Income Tax and Senoirs get an extra deduction their property tax.
