@hraka13 I'm thinking of doing the same. My only living relative is a sister who is married with kids/grandkids and lives 300 miles away. We used to visit each other more than we do now since our parents passed away. She has built a community for herself in a rural town and would like us to be close enought to meet for coffee, but I do not see myself living in this town, even though I would like to move out of the big city to a place easier to navigate. I do not want to be a burden or expect her to provide me with a social life. Probably would want to find a 55+ community but I really like living in a house. Been solo all my life. But I am now in my 70s without much of a support net where I live and worry that a hospital stay would be a stretch. I want to get all my stuff in order so I can just live this stage of life.
