From what many of my old friends say about the city and the articles I read at the local news sites most people want out. Tell me what you think.
10 Affordable Places to Retire - Yahoo! Real Estate |
The articles focus was about housing affordability and the South Bend area is certainly affordable. If you are retired and dont have to do much or maybe just find a job greeting folks at the local Wal Mart part time, its great. On the other hand job seekers are having a hard time of it. I just sold a house yesterday 3 bed 1 bath 1 car garage in a decent neighborhood for $34,000 (it was a repo). It needs a bit of minor repair, but no more than $3,000, if that much.
