The problem is, both my girlfriend and I work in the same office park in Waltham, and it's too far to commute from the Cape. We only need to be in the office Tuesday through Thursday, so she's thinking she could make use of a Cape Cod place right now Friday through Monday, and then go back to her existing place for midweek. I still have my daughter at home attending school, plus I like to go into the office on Mondays as well and often on Fridays too. It will be easiest for me to go live on the Cape once I'm retired ... except having a second house adds a lot to my retirement budget, making it harder to accomplish that.
I'm looking for alterntives rather than hot and humid southern states.
I lived in Texas, I can't take the humidity, it's a killer--Florida, Georgia, the Carolina's....all humid.
The woman that owns the pet food supply shop I go to, her and her partner own a house in Cape Cod.
I was surprised, it seems somewhat reasonable.
I don't think you're escaping humidity in Massachusetts...
But yes, the average house on the Cape isn't any more expensive than the rest of the state. It just has a lot of enormous mansions & estates here & there for the fabulously wealthy to play in.
Buddy, you never lived in Houston, Texas! Now that's humidity, you'll want to rip your skin off in August.
Texas Hill Country has pretty nice weather
Yes, Texas Hill Country is very nice, I lived inbetween Austin and San Antonio (closer to Austin) many years ago.
Texas has some of the best Bar B Que out there imho. We use to drive out to Luling, Tx just for the Bar B Q! First time we went out there we didn't know we had to bring our own utencils lol. It's since changed, plastic utencils now available.
College Station is also very nice if one likes that Middle of America vibe. Very nice and very clean.
