More land, lowering costs, where would you move here in the West?

Just some more food for thought,

I grew up going to the beach and later in my teen years surfing quite a bit.

I can’t imagine what my life would be like without having that experience.

I still go to the beach maybe 10 or 15 times a year.

Good luck to you in whatever you decide to do.

[quote=clearfund]We did the same thing and settled on Denver as it is sunny 300+ days/yr and although snows in the winter it is limited and it is also a dry climate (we wanted to avoid humidity).

Also know people who relocated to Boise, ID….$$$ goes a long way and the airport is easy and brand new.[/quote]

I think that Denver is a great choice.

Hub airport
Good university
High tech
Opportunity for future economic growth.

I wouldn’t go to the middle of nowhere or small towns where to opportunities to make money or get a job is limited. There are always times in your life when you want to be economically productive.

I also think that Houston and Dallas are great places for people starting out or people looking for lower cost housing.

3rd vote for Denver. I lived there. It has everything you just described, with the exception of mild winters. Denver winters can be harsh and snowy at times, but they are always mixed with lots of sunshine and golf days too. It can get very cold, but its generally comfortable enough, just not quite San Diego winters. The snow usually melts in a day. The summers are warm/hot but dry, not muggy at all.

There are a ton of communities within 30 minutes of downtown that offer a wide ranges of lifestyle and job bases nearby. The northern suburbs are more spacious, less crowded, newer. Southern burbs are tighter and older, but there is a lot of variety. Denver Tech Center is down south. Golden to the West is also nice, newer and popular and only 1.5 hours to world class skiing, Breck, Aspen, Vail, etc.

There is a specific neighborhood in Erie (20 minutes NW of downtown) called Erie Village that has all Victorian and Prairie style architecture, large lots with the garages in back or side, and HOA specifically permits and encourages granny flats. Its a beautiful little planned community, HOA fees are about $40 a month. Huge, newer (2000’s) homes going for $400K to $600K with large lots (plenty for a garden).
