for us, it's also the ease of visiting relatives
We have kids, siblings, grandkids and all of our friends (so far - some may end up retiring in Arizona) in basically the eastern third of the country - would be more expensive for everyone to visit us and us to visit them if we were out west, so never considered Arizona. Think about this if it is also the case for you, and vice versa. Family is important.
We thought we'd be frogs in TV, but have now become snowbirds, buying a condo back in Ohio for the summer. We get heat and humidity sometimes, but except for last summer, usually only lasts a week or two at a time, and then a cool front will move in. We love the summer city life, so it's working well for us.
Depends on your individual financial situation, but we would rather have 2 inexpensive places than one bigger place in TV - but that's us, and everyone is different.
