One of the OP’s original criteria was “medical” and I haven’t seen it mentioned as part of the answers.
Two years ago we moved to Virginia’s “Historic Triangle” to retire. Retirement will actually happen the end of this year. Anyway, a year ago, my wife was diagnosed with a fairly rare cancer (Carcinoid). There is not a doctor in the state that know anything about it. Additionally no place has the diagnostic equipment to manage / track it.
One would think that with 2 world class medical schools (Medical College of VA, and UVa) reasonably close by, care would be easy to find. Not so. She has traveled to New Orleans and will soon go to Denver. Fortunately, through patient forums she has now found a pretty good guy at Duke so that is not too bad a trip.
My point here is make sure that if a doctor hangs his shingle he knows what he is doing. We have found that not to be the case here. And since we are not in our 40’s or 50’s anymore, great health care is particularly important.
