I lived in Atlanta until last year and I still have my house there.
- not too far away from a major airport.
- not too hot in the summer. We don’t care about the winter. We have our winter home
- not too expensive.
- suburbs is okay. But not rural. But we would really like a walkable place. Our condo isn’t in a “walkable” area. But since it is built as a resort hotel, there are three restaurants, a well stocked convenience store, three pools and a gym on site, and a jogging trail.
- a low tax state.
The only city that we have been to that real piqued our interest is Charlotte, NC.
We were there last year for three weeks. But I ended up traveling for work two of those weeks. We are going back next year for three weeks.
We both love Vegas just because there is so much to do and Nevada is state income tax free and the cost of living isn’t high. But it’s hot.
Like I said, there is really no urgency even though I will be 50 next year. We might even end up buying a place in Atlanta again and going back and forth between Atlanta and Orlando.
I live in the south, and I sometimes think about eventually buying a property in the north and spending half the time there.
