Yep, wife and I moved at retirement to live somewhat closer to our kids. Also, wanted a larger city to live in for more things to do, better restaurant options, etc.
Still at home due to no pics health issues and will be for another 2.5 years, her doctors are here in IC/CR area. Initially the plan was to build in NE Iowa and move there, and winter in the south.
Plans change so we'll see what happens. The plan is still the plan, but delayed.

About 200, so we can still occasionally go back to visit friends in prior location.
We already moved when the kids graduated High School. From NJ to Delaware. Slightly more moderate climate, and property taxes less than 1/4th of NJ, with the bonus of having a much nicer house.
We moved to a 55+ so we have adults only swimming pool and single floor living - with a massive rec room in the basement.

We’re an hour to Rehoboth. I think it would be another 20 minutes to Bethany.
Same place for 35+ years. No reason to move. The house will be paid off this time next year.
There’s only like 20 miles of Delaware shoreline, so all of the beach town run right into each other. Lewes, Rehoboth, Dewey, then Bethany.
I was born and raised in Tallahassee and am still here. I retired almost 3 years ago. We built our retirement home in northern Tally before I retired (13 years ago). Not sure where I would ever move to, so I am pretty sure I will live here until the end (hopefully a long time from now).
Retiring in 2.5 years. Already trying to line up retirement gigs, so that will factor into whether we stay put or hit the road. Had a realtor look at our house, so feel good about that.
I’m 10-15 years from retirement, but we’ve talked about moving when it ur youngest graduates high school. I work from home and am somewhat flexible where I can live (have to stay in the Dakotas) and my wife is an FNP-C, so if we move to any moderately sized town she could find a job. If it was up to me, I’d stay where we are and travel more to break up the winter.
Honestly, the more I’m away from home, the more I realize I’m pretty happy where I’m at.
