Obviously everyone's financial situation is different and SS payments can vary greatly, but wanted to get other perspectives.

I think it would be difficult but probably possible.
Figure $900/month for annual tax bill, utilities, and amenity fee. Another $500 (?) for groceries and $300 for home and auto insurances bring the total up to $1,700 per month.
If an average SS check is $1,900 then it looks like it is possible to live here on SS alone.
