My wife and I are planning to retire in the next few years. We're considering San Angelo because of the weather. The weather is great — warm most of the year with an average of 69F.
Cost of living looks pretty reasonable. How's the healthcare situation? Any retiree communities?

Coming from New York, the cost of living difference is noticeable. Groceries and gas are about the same.

The job market has been improving lately. Several logistics companies moved in recently.

Great post! One thing I'd mention is the west side tends to be more affordable. Makes a big difference.

Traffic is the worst part honestly. But if you live near work it's fine.

Rent tip: look for places in January-February. Prices drop and there's more availability.

I've lived in Midtown for 12 years and it's a hidden gem honestly.
