I'm a lifetime washingtonian having been born and raised in the DC metro area, and for about half my lifetime I've yearned to move somewhere else, but just never got up the courage to bite the bullet and just do it. Don't get me wrong, There are a lot of things I like about this area, but there are lots of things I don't like about this area as well. Specifically I can't stand the humidity in the summers along with all the bugs. And while the winters are comparatively mild, I have come to really dislike snow and ice. My dream location has always been the Bay area in NorCal
So anyway I went on Sperling's best places to fill out their questionnaire and see where would be my ideal place to live....and not surprisingly, San Francisco came up #1 on my list. But I had to chuckle because at #3 came the DC metro area where I live right now (even though I'm constantly thinking I want to be somewhere else). I guess no place is really perfect so I might as well be content with where I am.
As I slowly move closer towards retirement, I wonder how things worked out for those who have retired? Did you move to some warmer climate and like it? Did you move somewhere more affordable? Just wondering If anyone here really did find their best place to live?
