The only real pain is the drive across the Buckman Bridge....beautiful view, but really crazy traffic with stupid drivers. |

When I think about moving in retirement, there are several elements to consider. Pros of staying where I'm at in retirement: 1. I get good appreciation on my current home. I got lucky and bought in a high-demand place. Buying in a cheaper market will cost me money in terms of lower appreciation on the home. 2. I get cash out of my current home since I rent out an apartment. 3. My current home is in really good shape and there are no surprises for me in terms of maintenance. 4. I can walk to anything I need, which is good for a variety of reasons. 5. Until I need the cash for income, having a bunch of money in home equity is good diversification. 6. I really like Denver. Pros of moving in retirement: 1. I could buy a house like this in a cheaper market and free up a ton of cash in retirement. 2. At some point in the distant future, having a house with lots of stairs may become a problem. Hopefully that's the distant future, but still... 3. It would be fun to explore a new place. All in all, it would have to be a perfect fit to warrant moving, so I probably won't unless health forces me to do so. I pretty much have an ideal situation for the foreseeable future.

I moved Beachside on the Space Coast 10 years ago. I don't mind the Summer heat and humidity. Beaches are beautiful, not crowded and are free to park with zero admission. Great schools, fishing and Rocket Launches. 2.5 hours from Jax, Tampa or Miami. Orlando in one hour. I have no need go anywhere else.

The last Hurricane Irma, the eye came right over The Villages, I never lost my Directv, not even the HD or my electricity and had no property damage. By the time hurricanes reach us 50 miles inland, it's usually only tropical force winds. Our biggest problem with mother nature is sink holes. From Ocala to Tampa to the coastline is sinkhole alley. There are about 60,000 homes in The Villages and about 2 or 3 a year will get a sink hole in the yard, insurance will generally cover it. I lived six years in Pensacola, if it hadn't been for The Villages, I would of retired there. It's very conservation, home of Naval Aviation and a lot of retired military. It has a beach about as nice as Clearwater, it's 3 hours from New Orleans via I-10. You're actually in the central time zone, which I thought was neat since everything comes on an hour earlier. Panama City Beach is 90 minutes east, which is a huge spring break town. Housing is fairly cheap and the tourist season is the opposite, it summertime and not winter. You will get a few Canadians looking for bargains going there in the winter. 50 degree days is not cold to a Canadian. The only negative is they are more prone to hurricanes in the panhandle. For a city less than 200,000 they have a lot to offer. Pensacola has major concerts A fairly new minor league baseball stadium and team There's festivals all the time downtown, also at nearby Gulf Shores State Park they have music festivals |

You must be the most intelligent person on the board
What gave you a hint? Maybe that I was showing the house with a label on the left saying 2009????? https://www.google.com/maps/@38.2780...!7i3328!8i1664 https://www.google.com/maps/@38.2778...!7i3328!8i1664

I would love to stay here in Marin County. But by my calculations we would need to retire with about 3-4 million in the bank.
Gonna be a challenge. |
