I think Rich may already own it. Beach front in Kauai. SW or E shore. Near Kapaa or salt pond beach.


Landlord · Hendersonville, Tennessee


Beach Front? No Thanks ...

Lake Front, on atleast 10-15 acres. Boat House, Pool, with Horses. Prefer small community, not completely in the boondocks.

Quite a few props here in the South that fit the above ... just a bit out of my budget for the time being! Someday :-)

My dream house is the Freddy Krueger House on Elm Street....

Got nuthin' against neighbors. Just want to skinny dip in privacy.


Mobile Home Investor · Spanaway, Washington


We already had our dream home - 4300 SF, 3-car garage, 6-bedrooms, 3.5 baths, over 1/2 acre with a large deck on the side of a mountain looking down on the city of Colo Spgs, CO. It was great while kids were home - they all moved out at about the same time so we were rolling around in a monster home too big for 2 people. We sold it and bought a MHP with the proceeds. We are now happy with our 700 SF apartment in the middle of our MHP! We have a view of the lake with dock access to 180-acre lake. Life is Good.

What part of Aurora do you live? :lol:

I won't tell anyone, promise!

There was a nude beach on the north tip of Oahu in the 80's. Near Turtle Bay. So I heard.


Real Estate Investor · Phoenix, Arizona


Two small vacation homes - one in London and the other in San Francisco. No country stuff for me.


· Houston, Texas


5 acre lot, gated lake front community, somewhere north/northeast of dallas.tx........north/northeast of houston,tx with horse riding trails, a marina. Oh Austin, TX suburbs has some very fine lakefront communities.


Real Estate Investor · Dallas, Texas


We've got no real desire to upgrade our primary home. It's pretty humble, a 3/2, about 1600 sq feet, but we've always been really happy here. But what would be really nice would be getting a cabin on a few wooded acres in very north TX close to the OK border, or maybe just over the border into OK. That part of the country is really beautiful. We'd use it as a getaway for a few days at a time. It would be close enough to where we live now (about 75-90 mins drive), that we could just shoot up there more or less when we feel like it without having to plan a real vacation. It will probably have to wait until the kids have left home though (15 yrs from now - our youngest is 3).


Rehabber · Chandler, Arizona


Summers in Michigan on Lake Huron. Winters in Colorado.

I thought this was an interesting article I read today:

Where Do Most People Want to Live?

If you could live in any state, except the one you live in now, what state would you choose to live in?

The Harris Poll has asked this question every year since 1997. While California tops the list of most popular states to live in among Echo Boomers (now ages 18 to 33) and Gen Xers (ages 34 to 45), Hawaii is the top pick for Baby Boomers (ages 46 to 64) and Matures (ages 65 and over). Among Echo Boomers, Hawaii drops out of the top five.

Here are the top-10 states across the age groups:

1. California
2. Hawaii
3. Florida
4. Colorado
5. Arizona
6. North Carolina
7. Oregon
8. Texas
9. New York
10. Washington


Real Estate Investor · Phoenix, Arizona


Does it say where they want to live in CA? The central valley is quite different from the Bay Area, which is itself quite different from San Diego, etc.
