Why Would Anyone Want to Move To.....

Someone on the topix forum mentioned Kentucky and the low cost of housing and mild weather. I mentioned that retiree's would likely move to where ever they felt the cost of living was lowest and fit their wants.

One of the local realtors said "Who wants to retire and live in Kentucky? "

I have always said that not every retiree wants to live in a hot climate and I looked on a California city-data forum that was asking where people were going to move if they left California. Only two mentioned AZ and one of those said they had moved but they wanted to move back to Calif. Of the rest of the comments, Colorado stood out as one of the top destinations, which pretty much fits in with where people I know have moved or want to move to. Many also mentioned what they were looking for was...1)low cost of housing 2) small rural town 3) no need for extensive shopping etc. I clipped the "where we're going part" out of each of the individual posts.......Here it is:

We've been thinking about moving to San Antonio

We have found the cost of living in Tennessee

We are researching Arkansas

We are deciding between three towns in western WA

I'm staying put, right here in California

I have made the decision to leave CA and am moving to NE Arkansas

I just got back from my second scouting trip to Denver.

I have been looking at Oregon, WA, and Wisc. I like cold weather. I'm sick of the heat.

no reason for us to want to live back in California. Colorado itself is stunningly beautiful.

We moved two years ago from Chico to Arizona.

we are going to Kalispell mt.

We are heading for Gig Harbor Wa.

My daugher moved back to Tennessee

We sold that house after only a year and moved to Southern Utah

Be sure you understand how truly HOT it is in Vegas...we are usually a few degrees cooler in St George than Vegas and it is unbearable.

in reference to moving from CA to San Antonio, you wouldn't be alone. Californians are moving down here in DROVES.

We are looking at Northern Co, Loveland/Ft Collins area, also looking at Tulsa and possibly Boise, Idaho.

We moved from Sac a year ago to Portland, OR

I heard great things about Austin

I have considered Austin Texas myself....I may end up in Texas, Tennesee or somewhere similar.

born and raised in Cali, We are moving out next summer to Colorado,

You'll find very few if any people who have regretted their move from California to Colorado

We left to move to Southern Florida

I moved back to my home state (Michigan)

we are actually considering moving BACK to California.....AZ has been affordable

Nope, not moving.
