Hi Bojan
Good luck with your move.
Things I rate as important that once I would not have considered I share with you.
Dont let pride dismiss my suggestions the future is different to what you imagine.
I list things to consider which are more important than the area you select.
In the future the following will be important.
Single level with no stairs. Even one step may need a ramp.
Distance from garage to kitchen should be minimal as carrying shopping will become a major task.
Minimal maintenance as what you once could do in the future will require employing someone. I know this is unimaginable but trust me you need to prepare under this assumption.
Cleaning gutters becomes impossible so avoid trees close by.
Try to imagine a world where what you once could do now requires paid help.
My legs prevent carrying the shopping from the car in one trip for example. It is a major effort... Who would have thought?
I see my father unable to do the simplest of tasks which I would not have noticed except my legs take me to his state in many ways such that I feel qualified to point out these simple matters.
I know you are a very capable man used to doing "stuff" so you may have trouble imagining the picture that I paint.
Also make sure the new house requires no work. Work means getting and paying for help.
Once I could fix the plumbing the electrics trim the trees now one has to call in someone.
Be happy with small dont buy bedrooms for house guests.
A big kitcken is no longer neat because you have to walk further.
I know you are not past it but please try to comprehend the message I am giving you.
Alex
