NY is not the only place you can have that, Kicker. I saw the same in lots of neighborhoods in FL - nice cul-de-sacs, sidewalks with bus routes and really close shopping. Every kind of store, restaurant, thing to do or see I ever thought of. Even the parks were mostly scooter friendly.

Why do ya think the old folks go there to retire, lol?

But I'm saying, if it's in NY and FL, I'm sure lots of towns are the same. Houses on one floor (the house we're trying to buy does not even have a step up to enter, no ramp needed), places close you could w/c to or take bus and pretty things to see.

Some websites rate neighborhoods on a *Walking scale*, how car dependant you are there. Good idea to look into that for people who want to move.
