I'm looking for suggestions for retirement communities for the near future. I used to live in what was the ideal place so I'll describe it.
1.Mobile Home Community of 5000 Units
2.You own the land
3. Nice pier out into the Intercoastal Waterway
4. Private Ocean Side Beach
5. Pools, Tennis Courts, Club House etc
6. Ride a golf cart to the stores etc
7. WARM weather
This place is between Melbourne and Vero Beach Florida East Coast.
The unfortunate part is that I was a Building Inspector there in that County during the hurricanes of 2004 & 2005. I'm from Maine and seeing this sort of destruction really unnerved me. I also saw first hand the extreme heart ache of the people that lived in these types of places. People that weren't young nor rich. I'm continually drawn to go back but this vision bothers me. My wife and I have no children or family and are concerned as to what WE would do if it happened to us. Also because of all this Florida's economy is much more fragile and the cost of living is much higher.

So we're looking for an alternative to going to Florida and thought with the diversity here I may get some leads.
