Here's my guidelines for a retierment location.
1) At least 60 miles away from any living relative in your area or town ( that way you or they can't just drop in ).
2) At least 300 miles away from your kids ( so they don't rely on you for their support and always ask for money).
3) Good weather..that means little rain, no snow, no high winds and clear skys.
4) An area that has plenty of things to do with folks your own age.
5) Inexpensive food and housing and low taxes.
6) Most importantly..close to the market and a good golf course and car clubs..
