[quote=Anonymous]My mother in law lives in western PA and sadly with lost my stepfather in law to pancreatic cancer a few months ago. She has said she doesn’t want to stay where she is and wants to come closer to family. We’re in DC, my brother in law is in Woodbridge, VA and she wants to be an hour or less away from each of us.

Some of her husbands family that she is close to is near Philly and New Jersey, so maybe a 1-2 hour drive to them.

So overall, seems like some parts of VA, West VA or maybe even another part of PA could work.

She doesn’t like MD because of the taxes, though. If there’s an amazing place that checks the rest of the boxes below, maybe she can be convinced.

Her priorities:
- easy access to medical care 
-close to nature, good scenery and not too busy (she lived the NOVA life during her career and doesn’t want to go back)
- single level independent home 
- doesn’t have to be in a 55+ community but I think she might enjoy it?  If not, if there are any other informal neighborhoods that have a lot of retirees and specifically any neighborhoods with widows for companionship. I hope she can make some new friends  
-600-700k budget

Appreciate any ideas!!
