I'm not selling my home here, renting. But will claim residency and take the tax advantage under the homestead exemption.

We have been snowbirding for 5 years at another retirement place and we have found the cost of living is lower.

No state income tax is good, home insurance lower than NY, as is heath insurance.

Biggest advantage is the size of TV and the activities keeping you active and in better shape to some degree depending on your choices.

If you're a couch potato you can find other places less expensive.
