Morgan or Heber City .... other ...for retirement (Ogden: buyer, medical)

[Aggie]

Folks ... Howdy. We are considering Utah when I retire, about 2 years. We have visited both Morgan and Heber City and have enjoyed both, as several other locations. We would prefer being out of the big valley (SLC, etc.). Can't go too rural at this point due to a few medical limitations ... this getting old is not for sissies <grin>. Do hope to be able to bicycle around town and walk. So I guess I have a couple general questions for the collective wisdom of the group.

Any general comments comparing Morgan and Heber?

Any other towns we should consider? similar types.

We appreciate any insight, thoughts, opinions (and accept opinions ... with a little scrutiny <g>.

I love Morgan....very pretty. Not famaliar with Heber City. We are going south for retirement...St George.....the prettiest in my opinion. Lots of walking and bikding trails.

If still interested, I do think Heber is beautiful valley, but I have to stick with biased view toward Morgan. Either in Morgan or closer to Weber Canyon--Mt Green, you end up as close as 10-15 minutes to two very good hospitals in Ogden...and Davis isn't much farther. Many great specialists in both areas also. Add to that the quaintness of Morgan County and the accessibility of Salt Lake (35 minutes from Mt Green), a revitalizing Ogden that has more to offer all the time, Morgan can't be beat. And right now it's a better buyer's market in all segements...especially higher end in the NW end of the valley (Mt Green).
I think Morgan has all of the goodness to be desired with small, growing town... but is closer to everything you can need in Weber/Davis counties.


I'm not sure if there's much difference in harshness of winters.
