DH and I have been trying to figure out where to "retire to" since I retired 10 years ago. We have lived in Missouri all our lives. I thought I would ask here to see if anyone had any suggestions we hadn't thought of. Our priorities are the following:
- Clean air and water (we'd also like to avoid fireplace/fire pit smoke).
- Nice scenery.
- Good internet access.
- Livable weather for at least 3 seasons.
- Under $1 million for a well built home with at least a little bit of land so that our neighbors are not 8 feet from our house.
- Community where there isn't traffic congestion, aggressive drivers and inconsiderate jerks. Seem to be more of these every day.
- Not a necessarily a retirement community but not one where it is oriented towards children.
- Not overrun by extremists of any type.
We have been around the country quite a bit and have never really found anything. We are currently thinking about maybe doing a short term rental in Michigan near Traverse City but we are not sure we can "handle" all that snow.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!
