I've not yet found another community where I want to invest in property with the intent of eventually living there permanently. Downtown Chicago for a month, the northern California coast for a month, the southern Rockies for a month, being a campground host in a national forest campground for a couple of months - all seem to offer a pleasurable variety of retirement experiences without taking on another mortgage.
