My wife and I are planning to retire in the next few years. We're considering Roswell because of being near family. Weather is moderate — about 62F average.
Cost of living looks pretty reasonable. How's the healthcare situation? Any retiree communities?

As someone who moved here from Houston, I can confirm most of this. The cost of living surprised me the most.

Great post! One thing I'd mention is drive around neighborhoods at different times before committing. Makes a big difference.
