In looking at location for retirement, I would throw these ideas into the mix as desirable features: 1. Low land/housing cost 2. Low cost of living index 3. Moderate climate (whatever that is) 4. Other forms of recreation/relaxation within reasonable distance (golf courses, fishing, beaches, whatever). (Husband/wife cannot live by music alone!) 5. Reasonable transportation in/out (access to interstate highways and airport to facilitate visits to or from family etc.) What other features would be desirable? What places meet most if not all of the criteria?
