Too expensive for a single gal to buy a house and retire, however, so I took a job elsewhere and now live in a town of less than 5,000 myself. You can buy a house cheap up this way, but the average income is about 20k. Small towns don't have the jobs of the cities.writtenwyrddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02280711822302493122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7716443587185617804.post-79310281983980676342009-12-10T13:02:09.436-06:002009-12-10T13:02:09.436-06:00Oh, and I forgot Austin.

It does get hot in the summer, but it's a gorgeous city with lots of lakes and hills, laid-back people, and a fun/funky downtown. It's the perfect size too, big enough to offer anything you need but not overwhelmingly huge like Dallas. I'd so move back there if I could.Roni Lorenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02719679344024635326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7716443587185617804.post-66029094134041197752009-12-10T11:50:40.787-06:002009-12-10T11:50:40.787-06:00I would want to move to some place similar to your...I would want to move to some place similar to your requirements.

I left behind my two sons and most of my family. Talk about fear, anxiety and homesickness. But I love where I am even with hurricanes and hot summers. We are only a half hour from Orlando where the big city and Disney offer endless opportunities for fun in the sun!! Come on down!!Donna M.

There are a few lakes around, if you want snow, it's just a couple of hours to Flagstaff or Snowflake. Five hours to get to a beach, three if you want to go to Mexico. I love it here. The only thing that would entice me to move is California. I grew up there, so I'm not afraid of earthquakes. I spent 7 years in the midwest and found that I'm terrified of tornadoes, too.Tina Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05914428134837892539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7716443587185617804.post-24136751989150879272009-12-09T13:37:19.743-06:002009-12-09T13:37:19.743-06:00I live in a suburb of Buffalo, NY...it's close...I live in a suburb of Buffalo, NY...it's close to a decent sized city with tons of culture...we love it here.

Hiking and a lake nearby, skiing in winter, outlet shopping, pleasant people, just a stone's throw from Denver.

Weather wise it's pretty mild. Sure, it gets cold in the winter and hot in the summer but nothing extreme. There's plenty of lakes around. Well maybe not near the big cities, but where I live out the in the country it's pretty cool. The economy really sucks though, so job wise I'm not sure where to tell you is the best cause it's not good anywhere. I don't think my ramblings helped you much...haha...but I've lived in PA all my life and I like it.
