It's not always possible, though. We moved around, following our careers, and ended up here. I'd love to move, but DH is 62, I'm 66, and there aren't a lot of companies eager to hire folks who are about ready to retire. I'd move back to the Boston area if I could, but we can't afford it, even if we could find jobs that would pay enough to support us in that economy.I’m happy right where I am at. If I wasn’t I would leave. It’s to bad people would stay where they don’t want to be.
What don’t you like about gated communities?Depends on the situation. If it's a situation where it's more or less anonymous wealth that allows that, I'd just try to fix up my house and stay where I am. I like where I live, but would like the security to fix up my house and maybe buy a nice car that's not too showy. Being wealthy where others know about it can be pretty painful.
If it were a situation where others knew about it, then a gated community. I don't necessarily like them in principle, but once others find out that someone has money, they often get hit with solicitors - as evidenced by lottery winners. I don't particularly want to be in any situation where I have to hire security for my family.
I’d move to Coronado in a heartbeat.Coronado is about the best you can do. Perfect weather, on the beach, plus close to a great city with nightlife and airport. Still a small town feel. Oh yes 20 minutes to major league baseball

Hawaii. No question.
