I live in southern California, but we’re looking for a place to move to for retirement. Because the cost (and value) of housing where we are is so stupidly high, we could pretty easily go anywhere except Hawaii.
I love rural to the extent that equates to “surrounded by nature,” and wouldn’t say I’d never live in a rural place. On the other hand, we also really like diverse restaurants, and my wife has health issues that require us to go to specialists regularly.
What we’re looking for is someplace on the outskirts of a city that’s surrounded by wilderness, buying in that transition zone.
