    Looking for Retirement Heaven? I've found it!!

    I stay away from Point Roberts during the winter seasons for that exact reason.  Rains like crazy, and when the sun does show it's face it's gone before I get my clothe on! Spring & Fall is fine, and the Summers are just beautiful. I have a winter home in Florida and Arizona as of now.

    Exactly...the houses in Vancouver are crazy like California. We get to take advantage of low housing costs in Point Roberts and still be in driving distance to Vancouver.

    Looking for Retirement Heaven? I've found it!!

    So, I was looking for a place to retire. I wanted a view of the city lights, mountain, and the ocean in view from my patio. I needed security...some place safe - not just for us, but also for the vacant home because we intend to travel as much as we can. Well, after extensive search...it does...
