My husband and I discuss this often. OP, which state did you decide on, if you don't mind sharing? [/quote] I am not OP ... but I am thinking of Puerto Rico once the bankruptcy gets cleared up and it starts being gentrified and rebuilt. [/quote] If you like the idea of being surrounded by lazy, entitled, talentless brown losers who can't speak English and hate you for being better than they will ever be, consider Detroit, or San Antonio. [/quote] Detroit's fucking freezing. San Antonio is hot as fucking hell. The people don't matter. I never interact with them anyway. [/quote] They problem is, they like interacting with you, especially if there are more of them then there are of you. They also like interacting with your stuff, especially if you aren't home. Consider Costa Rica, MUCH superior to Puerto Rico. [/quote] Costa Rica is pretty expensive and it's outside US jurisdiction, which I consider somewhat of a risk. Nicaragua has a bad sound because we remember the Sandinistas, but that was 20-30 years ago. Daniel Ortega is a fat and happy capitalist now. Someone living down there said the American retire to CR instead of getting much more for their money in Nica is that they have chronic medical conditions and need all the western doctors. Fine if that's the situation. But so far I don't have such problems. My other retirement thought is Nicaragua. Leon looks like a nice town, driving distance to good beaches, and lots of universities.

Those looking for remote areas to live need to consider federal lands in mostly western states and Conservation Easements a government takeover in eastern states that block you from using your land to meet your requirements.
In either case, the land is not yours you are simply paying to be bullied by the government and the land can be taken away at any whim contrived by the government.
Choose wisely after much research it took us several years to find the perfect land to build our retirement home.
