This. If we can afford it. Selling paid off house + extra chunk of cash = apartment in safe neighborhood (doesn't have to be the swankiest in the world, just safe). Trick is making sure we have enough so that the extra chunk of cash won't deplete our retirement savings. Combine this with a little place in New England (that we'll inherit) for the summers . . . perfect (for us). Although the apartment in Paris would be great as well . . . but that's unrealistic.
