OP, your points are well taken. As for your wife, health care could be better, if you move before she turns 65 she will need to find suitable coverage, and you might want to start looking early. Also, be very careful about traditional Medicare and Medicare Advantage there is an organization SHINE (Senior Health Infromation Network) SHINE - Home that provides unbiased information, that saved us from making a big mistake.
There are some areas that some people regard as less desirable but this is a matter of opinion. I am sure you can find an area you will like and a home you will like.
BUY preowned ususally more upgrades and go with regulare medicare and a supp then you can go all over advathange plans have many disadvantages to it. IF you move in the middle which will happen soon you can go north and south much easier........everyone loves there village just sayin........no need for a 1 month visit. i bought on 3rd day here came with a renter in place........
