re: Jupiter Florida - 1/14/2011 -
1/29/2012We are very interested in moving to Jupiter in a copule of years upon retirement. We live in the Midwest. I read that Jupiter has a 21% higher cost of living than is average in the US. Trying to figure out why. Sureley you don't have heating costs like we do here. OUr summers are just as hot and humid as Jupiter. Our property taxes are just as high. We do have state income tax. I know gasoline is higher in Jupiter. Wonder what else is? Just trying to make an informed decision. We really want to do this. My husband is a huge St Louis Cardinals fan and that is where they do Spring Training. We both would love the winter there. Thanks. Jean
Lee's Summit, MO
Kansas City weather -
1/29/2012First off I will say that Lees Summit is one of the better places to live in the Kansas City Metropolitan area. I've lived in MO most of my life and this is the best place I've lived. That being said, the weather in this state is not good. Not uless you love snow and bitter cold in the winter and high temps with very high humidity in the summer. For me, the only good weather we have is the short spring in April and May, and the mild autumn weather in early October. I hope to move to a more pleasing climate upon retirement, though that will mean leaving all my family. How I wish I had moved when my kids were young so they might have setteled in that area just as they have stayed in the KC area. Hindisight:(
But if you love extreme weather, the midwest is a good place to live.
