When you are looking at moving what are you looking for?

I am particularly interested in what you would look for if you were going to move a long ways away from where you are now?

The best way to look at this is with a hypothetical “if you could live anywhere what would you look for in the place that you are moving?”

Ha, I was thinking the same thing! I'm definitely out of Illinois if I win on Friday...

If I could move anywhere assuming I'm still in reality and need my job, then I'd move to a suburb with a nice downtown and a metra station, and I'd be within walking distance of the train. If I don't need to worry about working, then I would have entirely different criteria.

Coast of Maine. I love the brutality of the Atlantic Ocean in the winter.

I'd still stay where I'm at if that happens... I'll just buy up the horse farms here & start racing Arabians as a hobby.

Anywhere else "if" I have to move "again" to, will have to be...
#1) A great shelter (a good house basically; if have to be new, required to be built by myself as the GC)... move in ready, nothing needs fixing.
#2) Great Location... like Atop a hill, rural etc. (high enough elevation so I don't get flooded basement)
#3) Place w/ good mild weather (not hot but still with 4 seasons).
#4) ***NO HOA

Thats where I am at now... thus no complaints.

The grass is not always greener on the other side. I live in a great city. If I were to move it would be for better climate, culture, quality of life. Oh, and lower living costs!
