I mentioned Morro Bay, CA in an earlier post.
If I wasn't so attached to my home community (my screen name is my town), I'd seriously think about it. It was a beautiful little town.
According to Google is is about half way between LA and San Francisco. I'm just not a big city guy so I wouldn't want to retire to a big City like
@Cincydawg in Atlanta and Morro Bay and according to Wiki Morro Bay has about 10k people.
It is California so expensive but Zillow had houses for $750k and under so it isn't LA ridiculous.
I think the big problem would be that although it is halfway between LA and San Francisco it isn't very close to either.
Cincy mentioned being close to a major airport. Morro bay is about 3:40 from either SFO or LAX. Although I'm a small town guy, I'm used to being adjacent to a big city. I'm 20 minutes from CLE and well within an hour of NFL, MLB, NBA, concert venues, Symphony, all the big city stuff.in Morro Bay you'd have LA and San Fran each at about 3-1/2 hours but where I am now Cleveland is MUCH closer and within about 3.5 hours I could get to that plus Columbus, Detroit, Pittsburgh, and Buffalo while Cincinnati and Indianapolis aren't a whole lot further.
