I live in Hermitage Mo, mostly retirement people. You can find a nice place for 120,000. And even cheaper. And we have a lake right here for what ever you want to do near water. osark area, I love it. I came from kansas city mo. and retired down here. The best move I ever made.

You people who do these ratings are nuts! Do you check the housing prices?

******** warm weather, eastern locales or the boondocks of North Dakota.

I retired to Oshkosh, WI, surrounded by water, great fishing, hunting, arts, culture (big university), low crime and I bought a beautiful house in a nice neighborhood for $68,000; two-car garage, central air, elegant bedroom with French doors, perfect glass, everything is newly rehabed - from outside to inside.

The city is a miracle: Best senior center I have ever seen in the Great Lakes states - and that includes Milwaukee, Minneapolis and Chicago. The library is state-of-the-art; and, the real-estate taxes are moderate.

There are others in the 'Fox Valley,' including Appleton, Neenah and, of course, Green Bay. If you don't like the winter weather and the four seasons (Vivaldi) you have no class; so, move to Florida.

I love Englewood, a slice of paradise on the Gulf Coast in Southwest Florida.
I've lived in Florida for over 20 years and I love it! During season the restaurants do get alittle crowded, you can still get a table in a reasonable amount of time.

Off 'season' is our time...to enjoy swimming at a pristine beaches,world class fishing, golf, or dining in leisure. It is not a major city but Ft myers and Tampa is not too far away.
Yes, there's bugs ang gators in the Everglades but not that bad in 'civilization''.
If Florida sound like it's for you,please don't hesitate to contact me.
