Where To Retire?

If you could buy a place to retire, up to 1 million dollars, where would you buy and why? And not in the hypothetical sense. The cheaper the better.

I've been pondering that question
I don't have the answer yet

Y'all feel free.  Austin was a great place to grow up, and Cedar Park has been a great place to raise kids.

I ain't gonna retire in either one of them.

We made that decision in 2018, and we both are very happy with it.   It’s not for everyone of course.  

Retire where you will walk a lot.

Key West

you can walk wherever you want to go
half the island is like anywhere else, the other half is like nowhere else
warm, humid, but less humid than the mainland
you gotta be okay with gays, crowing roosters, and 6-toed cats

It is closer to Havana than it is to Miami.

Key West has a really small species of deer.

Key West is 100% urban.  The Key Deer is up where the US1 curves, probably like Sugarloaf Key or somewhere around there.  It's on the way to KW, not in KW.

You're supposed to winter in the south and summer in the north.
