Stay in the middle, away from the coasts.  Here in SE AZ at 5000', the
temps are mild, skiing is only an hour, and the ocean is only 3 hours.  A 3
Bdm 3000 sq ft house on 10 acres will set you back about $150,000.  In
addition, the Vanagons in the junkyards are mostly rust free, and Mexico is
about 1.5 hours.
