I'd say the biggest issue is if you're going to have to work and, if so, your skills, etc. Pay rates here dismal to say the least. Jobs with benefits are few and far between. However, if you're in the medical field or can telecommute, you should have few problems.
There is one other minus if you have to work -- many of the activities are during working hours. TV really does shut down early. Frustrating for night owls. That doesn't mean you can't still do things, just that there isn't quite as much to do and many neighborhood get togethers are in the afternoon and early evening.
As to your son, so long as he's over 19, the world is good. I moved here with my daughter when she was 19 and I was 51. It was difficult for her to find friends at first but she finally did, which made for a more content girl.
You'll both find your niche. It really is a pretty good place to live, even for "youngsters".
