I just retired a couple of months ago & haven't moved from just east of Dallas. I love the rural area, but closeness to the big city. Our property taxes are pretty low, no income tax, weathers pretty good most of the time, @ a month of extreme hot in summer, but A/C helps a lot. It's good here. If I were to move, it'd be central Florida. Around the Winterhaven area. Love the pace there.
