Some of the characteristics on our punch list are:
- Conservative attitudes and government policies, friendly people
- Climate: No scorching hot or humid summers, cold and snowy winters are fine
- Recreation: Outdoor interests, public land access (not leased only), a good gun club nearby
- Density: Towns with 2000 – 20,000 people, no big cities, looking for single family housing with an acre or two of land
- Medical services: Not a huge concern now, with age the needs will be more likely
- Don’t cares: Spectator sports, fancy restaurants, shopping centers
Possible areas are Idaho, Western Montana, Wyoming, Utah. We’re definitely willing to consider other areas that come to our attention.
Any ideas you’re willing to share will be very welcome.

We were looking for the same things this past year when we decided to retire and move from Alaska. We decided on Mountain Home ID which meets all of your requirements and is still within 40 minutes of Boise for any major medical or services. The housing market exploded here with most houses selling in a day or two, so we had to spend months shopping remotely from Alaska and buying a house while driving down the Alcan highway (they held it for us to see in person the day we arrived in ID). Super nice people here and everything we need for day to day living including a modern hospital.
