If one wants a more quiet, serene, subdued, smaller retirement community, then there are many great options for those in that category. Isn’t it great to have options of where we choose to retire? It’s important to do your homework and research a few years before retirement, so you’re ready to make an informed decision when the time comes to relocate.
Well put, Michael. By the way, your home is lovely and I enjoyed your latest appearance on The Newcomers with Jerry and Linda. I don’t know if anyone has told you this but you are a natural in front of a camera!

I was wondering if you considered Arizona at all since you were nearby in Colorado. I love Arizona and the desert, and if I could have afforded it I would have moved to a retirement community there.
