[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We moved to MidCoast Maine. Heaven.[/quote] We are looking at this! Have you found any downsides?[/quote] DP here. Some might consider 6 months of winter a downside. [/quote] +1 we have friends who bought their retirement home in Maine but they also maintain a DC condo and spend winters here. And, now [b]have a new grandchild here[/b] so they are spending even less time in Maine.[/quote] This is a big factor for me. I like where we live so, for now, my only moving motivation would be to live near any future grandchildren. That's what my parents did when they retired. All us kids had left their city, so when it was time to retire they considered either DC to be near me or a different city where my sister lived. My dad had lived in her city long ago and liked it, and it is more affordable than DC, so they ended up there. If you'd asked them 10 years earlier that city would never be a place they came up with on their own. But it has a nice quality of life and that's where the babies are so nothing else really matters. One of their friends moved to Portland for the same reason and a couple of my friends' parents are in DC for the grandchildren.[/quote] I will likely follow my only child, whether she has children or not.
