Great Place to Live - 11/8/2009
This is a great little town. My parents have lived here since 1971, and they wouldnt live anywhere else. I want to retire there someday. The town is very friendly. People actually talk to you there. The town remindes me of Santa Barbara, very clean and new looking. There was only about 2,000 people in 1971, and now the town has over 10,000. With that many people moving there, it must tell you something. Only thing is there is a lot of rain which is what makes it beautiful. A wonderful school system for children and a nice place to raise children. I say yes its a go. Thumbs up here.[read more...] |

Great Place To Retire - 8/7/2009
Upon retirement, my wife and I wanted to move to a coastal community with a population under 30,000, average yearly temperature between 40 to 70 degrees, with minimal or no snow, within an hour of a larger city for shopping if necessary, and having reasonable community services like medical, public safety, basic shopping, and restaurants.
Florence fits that bill almost perfectly. We enjoy a home overlooking the ocean, walk on the beach 5-6 days a week, and weather that fits our temperature range. Florence has shown up on several "best places to retire" lists. What we do not find in Florence, an hour away we can usually find in Eugene.[read more...] |
