We used to go to Fairhope all the time when we lived in Pensacola, it is so cute! We ended up moving to Huntsville, AL, though, which is also very nice and more mountainous 😊 much cheaper than FL too!

I'm sold on Baldwin County. Unfortunately, my wife is not. She had trouble walking on the beach and fell 3 times. I love the beach. I also thought the people were nice, too.

We like sitting afar and looking at the beach with cocktails in hand 😁

@LivingInLowerAlabama Sounds like a great plan, especially since you can't drink on Gulf Shore Beach. I'm doing some arm twisting. We may be in LA, after all. Like your videos.

Sand walking is very difficult, but it strengthens your legs if you can keep your balance.

[@jimagent1826]

@ronwinkles2601 I enjoyed walking on the sand. As a former marathon runner, I have no issues. my wife has had 2 knees replaced and a hip replacement. So, I think balancing is her issue.

Appreciate you sharing realistic expectations that one should consider. How much income would a single retiree need to relocate to Baldwin County? I have read that Alabama is very tax friendly for retirees. Thank you for making another fantastic video. P.S. What is the average age of the people living in Baldwin county?

We just helped a woman who only collects social security and she's able to manage. Thanks for watching!! 😊

Rent is super high here, so buying is typically cheaper. I have seen 2 bed 1 bath homes for $215k, so very affordable. Sales tax is high (10% on average) and state tax is 5%, but if your over 65 you don't have to pay property taxes. Homeowner's insurance is very expensive, which a lot of people don't talk about. On average, I think it's around $3000 a year now.

Can you help those of us who are also interested in renting a house or condo?

[@LivingInLowerAlabama]

We can definitely refer you to some great places!
