Hi:
If you are considering moving to another community, consider the outdoor recreational activities available in that community. It's important to think about what you might like to do as possible activities, as well as what you do now.
Recreation can be divided into two areas: interaction with the natural environment and activities that use community resources.
Consider the overall weather conditions and what you might want to be doing. Moving up north may be cheap, but if you can't hike because there are not many well-laid out trails and lots of bears, your hiking expeditions may be limited, especially if you don't want to become dinner.
If you love winter sports such as cross-country or downhill skiing, spend some time in that area in those winter months, and also at various other times of the year so you can imagine what you might do there in the middle of the summer.
Or, if you love the water, either by the lake or the ocean, stay back a few weeks in the fall and see what happens when the rains start and the sun disappears. Does the boating community pack up and leave? Will you enjoy the quiet cold days with not much to do? How prepared are you to deal with snow?
Smaller places can be explored in a weekend. By spending time there in the off-season, you'll be able to make better decisions about buying or moving to the area.
