Cool thread. DC/MD/VA is definitely the place to be. Good mix of everything here - also includes easy access to NY, Phila, WV (outdoor activies), MD/DE beaches. The other major plus here is that you truly experience ALL 4 seasons. Good luck!

I'm not very familiar with east San Diego county communities. However, La Mesa ZIP code 91942 has a median home price at 12/31/2005 of some $401K-- which leads me to thing it's less than highly desirable. La Mesa ZIP code 91941 has a median home price of around $539K.
California in general is expensive-- coastal communities much more so. One of the cheapest is in my hometown of Long Beach-- Belmont Shore; and its median home price is $850K (Menhattan Beach is $1.6 million).
San Diego in general is pricey. But I would never consider living there if I couldn't be less than five miles from the beach. That's my only hard requirement for living in California.

Dear readers:
One great place to live that most people forget or do not realize it's a part of the United States is the beautiful island of Puerto Rico. Part of the United States, great services, best medical care on the Caribbean, no real estate taxes and great weather all year round. For those that want a place to retire on the water with a true island feel with still all the amenities and services as in the United States Puerto Rico is for you.
I lived there for 14 years, not I am living in the USA. My husband an american could not believe how much he really felt like in the USA but with much better weather and all the beautiful beaches. We are still considering moving there and most definately retiring there.
Here are some websites with great local info on attractios and things to do on our favorite places in Puerto Rico that are still affordable, Cabo Rojo more than Vieques.
