Of course everyone’s needs are different so nobody can really answer for the OP.
But I think it’s a lot more than just grocery shopping to consider when choosing a place to live.
In a typical week or month between the two of us we make:

- 2 to 3 trips monthly to Walgreens for medications
- Maybe 2 Dr appointments monthly on 441
- 2 to 3 visits to the gym weekly
- Trip to gas station every couple weeks for car and every month for each golf cart
- softball games near 466 two times a week
- monthly club meetings at Lake Miona and La Hacienda
- golf 2 to 3 times a week
- trip to Sam’s every 3 or 4 weeks
- trip to Lowes every month or so (or 3 times in a weekend if doing a project!)
- dentist is on 466
- Savanah Center or The Sharron for show every month or so
- Out for dinner once a week
- Walmart once a month

All these things can be done from south of 44, but for us it would much less convenient. To each their own.
