Actually, the "neighbors" are the nice retired folks who rented us their unused RV pad while we're in Tucson updating medical, etc.
We backed into a beautiful, fenced yard with access to a patio area and use of a hot tub. We're paying as whopping $225/mo, full hook-ups, electric, wifi, cable included. Now, if we run the A/C (which we don't need yet) we'll add a few bucks (my rule).
We planned to boondock, but this keeps us from driving (saving $$$), as we're on the bus line and can shop nearby with bikes. Margie's insurance covers a cab ride to Dr appointments and my bus ride to the VA is $3 round trip.
I ran an ad on Craigslist and got 9 replies in 2 days. We chose this one for location...close to friends, shopping, bus, and its our old "hood". They even picked us up to meet and go have a look. There was no deciding to it....a win, win, win, win.
Oh, the first place we saw was a yard with dog poo all over, an orange cord running 100' around the house for electric (yeah right), and a yucky looking water hose...sewer dump (RV dump 2 miles). They were only trying to pick up a few extra ($300) dollars and had no clue. Tried to drive away real quick, but they came running out with their "sales pitch". It was everything we could to keep their 4 dirty kids from storming in the door (little Bindi in "kill mode"). Couldn't get out of there fast enough, LOL.
Other offers sounded good, some more $, some less $...I think we're getting more than what we're having to pay for right where we are...and, making some good friends too....Priceless
