[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 653575, member: 1963"] The complexes I am looking at are larger, but that's intentional. I want the amentities like gym, pool, grounds to walk on, etc. The complex I am most interested in also has planned activities for tenants, which also interest me. I've been a hermit for the last 12 years and it is time to put an end to that. The town I am looking at moving to is a 'burb about 20 miles S. of Milwaukee, so easy striking distance of shopping and restaurants and all the city stuff I do like. In the other direction, it is about 36 miles from where my mother lives, so a good medium either way. I feel that I've really stagnated living up here in the Northwoods in isolation. I've lived in cities for quite a bit of my life and do enjoy what the city has to offer in the way of recreation. Living within an easy drive of Milwaukee also makes it much easier to reassemble a new medical care team, which has me more nervous than meeting new people and socializing does. I need to get my "A-game" back. People who know me say I've gotten a lot more "autistic-ish" over the past several years, and the only treatment for that is to get out with people and practice my social skills. At the same time, I'm a short drive from the parks along Lake Michigan, which is one of my favourite places to be. It'll be no big deal to drive down and take my mother shopping. And since the apts I am looking at all have washers and dryers in the units, mum has already asked if it would be OK if she brought her laundry out when I picked her up for visits as its very hard for her to carry her laundry to and from the laundry room where she lives. At the same time, its no big deal for me to drive down during the week and take her grocery shopping and some of the larger grocery stores and help her carry her stuff in and put it away. Right now she is shopping several times a week because she can't carry much at a time. Oh, back to the original topic. The plumber came out to fix the leaky pipe. Told me it was his mstake because he should've caught it and repaired it on his visit to replace the faucet, and didn't charge me a DIME!! Whoo-hoo! The carpenter is coming at 10AM to replace the base of the vanity, but the fans and dehumidifier will be running for a bit yet in the bathroom. She'd be welcome to spend the night on the sofa if she chooses. There are plenty of restaurants and grocery stores within a few minutes drive in this community as well. You may remember Oak Creek for a very sad reason. That's the town in which a white supremacist mistook the local Sikh temple for a mosque and gunned down several worshippers. That said, crime is very low, schools are good, which is important to a neighbourhood even if one doesn't have children of school age. [/QUOTE]
