Right where I am living and have lived for 66 years. Been retired 2 years and having a base away from retirement communities and resort areas has been great.
Too many friends moved away, or downsized and found it to be a mistake. Resort areas are great to visit but are awful to live in full time, "too many tourists" as one friend put it. And then you have to find new friends and Doctors, and at least around here, many Doctors aren't taking new patients, so it can be an issue.
