We want to retire in ‘an area like the Berkshires, but warmer’ where should we go? MarketWatch 2/25/2021
WHERE SHOULD I RETIRE?
Dear MarketWatch,
Any ideas for an upscale retirement area with lots of hiking and biking? Great restaurants and culture? Near an airport?
We are unsure where we want to retire. We live in Northern New Jersey right near New York City. The area has gotten too congested and expensive. Ideally, we would like an area like the Berkshires, but warmer! My husband would love to be on a lake or near mountains. He loves to ski.
We love outdoor activities, yoga, theater, arts and great food. Doesn’t everyone? We may like a 55+ community so we can socialize.
