Community Golf Idaho In North

I continue my career final - and I'm very comfortable working 40 hours a Schedule for the first time in my life. I take my time and choose my clients carefully.

I get to take a day off here and there to golf, and I travel around the western states every two months. Over the last two years I have been keeping an eye on the perfect place to retire in the American West.

I now live in a small community near the Bay Area in Northern California. I have lived here for 20 years and over, and it was great. The Bay Area is dynamic, has a good climate, and is home to some of the most creative people on the planet. But this is certainly not paradise.

It's expensive to live somewhere. The roads are congested. Residents of the United States out of control and hit California hard. The government is dysfunctional, and we pay a premium for it. Although we have good weather, it is great half the year and a bit over-rated the other half. My business has changed over the last five years. I can do about 80% - 90% of it from anywhere. That's the beauty of information and communication technology.

Let me share with you what I found I was looking for better working conditions / places of retreat in the western United States. - Portland, Oregon area, particularly in the south of Washington - Prescott, Arizona - Northern Baja, Mexico - Hilo, the Big Island of Hawaii - Boise, Idaho

Southern Washington: I recently visited a friend who built his dream house on a few acres in Southern Washington, about 30 minutes from Portland. Its 2500 square foot house cost about the same as a ¼ acre lot in the Bay Area. It is easy to drive in a good airport and Oregon has no sales tax. It can explore the Cascades and reach the ocean or skiing in a few hours. Yep - it rains a lot, but not as much as Seattle.

Prescott, Arizona: This gem is home to 30,000 people, who enjoy mountain views and a temperate climate and sunny season climate thanks to its four-mile high altitude. If you're not real picky, you can find a nice $ 350k house. If you're a maniac or just looking for land, expect to pay $ 500K or more. Prescott is an old established city with historic buildings and strong family culture. It is true that absentee Californians have snapped up much of the housing in place. But they were running around most of western buying houses parts and put them in the "bank" for future use

Northern Baja, Mexico: Do not write it off too quickly, especially if you're in So Cal. and you want a second home near the beach. It's not as crazy as it may seem You can live near the beach in Rosarito and get a sea view a large house in absolute or beach for a fraction of the price of a house Two hours north of San Diego County. South of the Border property even has financing available on this side of the border.

Hilo area on the Big Island: One of the best prices in the U.S. was discovered and land prices are rising fast, but guess what? Land in Hilo is still cheap. If you are looking for a slow pace, it can not be slower than Hilo. This area is absolutely beautiful but not a prime location for vacation resorts and condos. Condos on Kauai, Maui, and on the other side of the track Big Island $ 500 - $ 750K, Hilo another acre of land can be purchased for $ 40 to $ 75K and $ 150k houses. If you want a little privacy as the garden, and have dreamed of building a cabin on tropical island, there is still time to make the United States. It rains almost daily in Hilo but showers are short and temperatures at 80 degrees 75 allows the showers and lush green growth a real delight.

Boise is considered the second city to do business in U.S. by Forbes magazine. It has a population of about 400,000 and the median house price around $ 165,000. Boise is an excellent gateway to the natural beauty of the Northern Rockies. For those of you not quite r.
