I've been moving approximately every 10 years of my life and have lived in New York, North Carolina and Florida and have enjoyed each state. My retirement search has been closing in on North Carolina for its mild winters, easy travel to the mountains and beaches, along with its the low cost of living.

We're leaving Phoenix due to population explosion and moving outside of Prescott. We bought 16 acres a few years ago and are having a home built next Spring. We plan on reducing overhead as much as possible with solar/generator power and digging a well. Selling the house in Phoenix should give us enough to pay for the house with a small mortgage for tax purposes. It's a major paradigm shift for us as we are both city people but we'll adjust. I can't wait to garden, plant fruit trees, and have lots of animals.

We're retired, and live in our CCRC.... Liberty village, Peru, Il.
Cape Cod... we loved it... Falmouth and also Martha's Vineyard. "1720 House"... rented @ $90Mo. in 1962. Now rents for $8400/wk in August
All on the water are getting more expensive.
We also lived near the water in Maine... Look up Mere Point...
Freshwater?
We still have a place in Woodhaven Lakes... right on the water. Selling this year.
And, look at Lake Cobbeseconte, Maine, but Maine has winters.

Since my wife dies last year[tombird is now just tom] I do not have a support system. I have been getting used to being a single 80 year old man. I am working at it though by joining organizations and discussion groups. My family is scattered back East in Michigan,Ohio,Illinois,North Carolina so there is no place I could move to to be near family. Besides I like it here in San Diego. My health is good but if/when it fails I will check into a home.

This is strictly a cultural thing. I'm from a small rural area in Virginia and you would get a crazy look if you asked someone where would you want to live when you retire. You build your home on your property and that is where you retire is the answer. I feel so lost not having my home to live in since retirement. I don't have one now. I was renting a one-bedroom but became ill and moved in with my kids in different states as needed. I go to a senior center during the week and most people there live with their kids or have their kids move in with them. The only people i knew who would ask that would be military who were like vagabonds, moving around and not putting down roots.

I will probably retire in 2020-2021 and intend to live between Colombia and central Florida. Part of the advantages of living in Colombia (my wife's home country) is that the cost of living is much less than the US and so is health insurance. We own a home in both countries so that helps a lot although rent in Colombia is very reasonable in most parts of the country.

I want to live in the mountains close to a flowing stream with pine trees all around. I want a big property, at least 5 acres. I want to have chickens and goats , lots of animals. and my dogs . A log cabin big enough for my family to come and stay whenever they want. I want a garden . Not mountains with snow most of the year, southwest areas with snow just a couple months during the year.

This would be my fantasy retirement. To me this sounds like a delightful way to spend the next 40 years.
