Lived in Nebraska my whole life, no better place to raise a family.
I will have a 2nd house somewhere because as much as I love Nebraska, the winters can be brutal. I always thought a 2nd home in Phoenix but who knows by the time I retire.
But I will also travel the world. Once I got a taste of overseas travel I can't get enough of it.
Besides being a small town, with little crime. I'm surprised you would pick it. Not gonna knock it, because I've never been there.
But I would imagine the winters aren't much fun, and it gets somewhat humid in the summer?
It all depends on what you looking for in a location. California is one of the worst places to retire in my opinion.
