Will you relocate when you retire?

What are you looking for in retirement? Are looking to move when you retire? There are plenty of people telling you here or there is the best place. Finding the best place is a compromise. Just don’t compromise too much, get all the information first.
This goal of this blog is to provide you with information to make a decision that is right for you. Step one is to decide what you like and want, don’t be convinced by other people’s whims, don’t follow the herd, take the road less traveled. Of course, that is easier said than done. What are your hobbies, do you have special needs, what have you enjoyed throughout your life? You are looking to retire, not start over. Are you looking for a warmer or cooler climate? Don’t go to the extremes. Are you looking for a place with a lower cost of living?
The best place for you to retire is not necessarily the place that is rated best place to retire by all the surveys. It may not even be in the top 10 maybe not even top 100. I have chosen to retire in Baton Rouge, LA, even though my wife and I love the mountains, and we have a subdivision in Northeast Alabama with superb mountain views and beautiful rolling hills. I have my own personal reasons, but Baton Rouge has great weather and the economics works for us.
If you interested in retiring in South Louisiana, there some really good homes, in really good older subdivisions that can be purchased at a really good price. Many of the good older well maintained subdivisions hasn’t had much turn over in ownership, which has kept the appraisal values lower since the previous sales in the area was done before the inflated prices. This is bad for the seller, but good for the buyer. My neighbor has a house for sale by owner, he is moving to be close to his grandchildren. For more information see

A place to build your dream home

Pells Gap Estates is residential subdivision in the Appalachian foothills of Northeast Alabama atop Sand Mountain Just outside Fort Payne. There is about a mile of bluff lots along the East brow of Sand Mountain. The interior lots have a great view of rolling hills across Sand Mountain. It is named Pells Gap after a old wagon road that was used about 100 years ago to come up the mountain from Big Wills Valley.

Pells Gap Estates is developed on the M. C. Pell’s family farm which was too mountainous to continue farming. It is being developed by Lowell Tilley, his grandson. He is a retired engineer who put together a development team for his one and only development. It is about 80 acres being developed in phases with first two phases ready to build homes. About half the 52 lots have been sold and eight homes have been built. There are three more phases to be developed.

This is a very unique subdivision because of the superb views, restrictions, and neighborhood association. There are many places to build a home with a great view, but they are not as convenient to shopping, schools, recreation, etc. See website
