Thread: Where would you retire?

Mountain home Arkansas. Norfork and bull shoals lakes are huge, beautiful crystal waters, walleye, stripers, bass, crappie.... Trout on the rivers.

Searcy Arkansas meets all your requirements. I live in middle TN and am retired......just bought a new house. But had I been able to get the wife to go to Searcy that is where my new home would have been. Cost of living is cheap.....churches......very small college.....a quite peaceful town. Just a neat place. It is on the Little Red River which is world class trout fishing. You are also close to world class crappie fishing. I still may wind up there.


Regards

Kissimmee? He wants low crime and churches.

Very true about doctors and hospitals, Walmart I can definitely live without. Lowes/Home Depot is a different story for me, for that's what I'm into. Want them close - if they don't have it, they can order it. The South for retirement for sure, don't believe anyone retires and moves north, not that I know of. Hurricanes are a hassle down here when they occur. For me, probably East Texas somewhere.

For sure I want nature as neighbors as I have now, don't want to see the side of someone's house.

Lake Wateree In SC grows a 2lb crappie in 2 years. Santee had the world record black Crappie for many years. I may choose somewhere in between!

I want a little summer,a little winter and not a whole lot of either. I can't enjoy myself in a crowd,have to be low population area. I have traveled a little but live 250 yards from where I was born.My Dad was in the Navy...if I ever mentioned I might move he always told me..."Son,I've sailed around the world twice and made ports of call on every continent,it don't get no better than here." He was referring to Southern Missouri and Northern Arkansas...It's where my people are from LOL.
