Coos Bay, North Bend is a lot cheaper than southern Cal. where we used to live. I'd say about 1/3 the cost. A rental house here averages about $1200.
House prices have been going up, however.
We’re planning on retiring to Maine in 6 years or so.
You can buy a nice home there for cheap & we want to return to small town life after living in Jacksonville, Fl these past few years.
Of course, cannabis is legal there with a robust MMJ program to boot.
