Why Seniors are Moving to the Urban Core and Why it’s Good for Everyone - Firefly Living
If it was up to me, we would move to a downtown apartment or condo as soon as we retire (planned 1/2016). My husband isn't ready to give up the extra sq feet and garage yet.
But by mid-seventies (God willing)I would like to be in an apartment that is walkable to groceries, library, a couple of restaurants, coffee shop and robust public transportation. I have scoped out a couple of locations (depending on our budget at the time). I think it would be great physical, cognitive and social stimulation. I only worry that if we wait too long inertia will set in and the move will seem too scary. The last thing I want to do is move AWAY from civilization, as I posted in "big mistakes in retirement" thread.
