I urge them to rent a place and spend at least a month there to get a feel for the community. If they are looking to move to a favorite vacation location I strongly recommend that they spend time there in the off-season. I live in a beautiful and popular beach community on Cape Cod. February and even April is very different than July and August. Fortunately, my wife and I enjoy our summer paradise but prefer the rest of the year’s small town life. Thanks for your comment.

Knowing what to expect from your new environment can be a life saver. Spend time in the community you are interested in prior to making the move or a commitment to purchase. The up front homework will prove invaluable for your "new beginning". As a Gerontologist and Senior Move Manager I encourage anyone looking for a place to retire to do their due diligence.

With retirement comes change and it is important for those making these changes to find a place that is comfortable, compatible, and while not perfect can meet most of their needs. Knowing what to expect is the most important factor. I encourage all those retiring and looking for "a new beginning" to do their due diligence. Spend time in a community before making a committment to purchase or move to a new environment. The time spent beforehand will be the ultimate reward in the long run.
