I am thinking two stage. First stage is boonies, then, a little older, urban. Small town is fine. But you are absolutely correct. You can loaf over to the coffee shop and the store way into your 80s, driving? Probably not. That said, by the time I am 80, I will expect self driving cars picking me up from the bar.
On the subject of the OP. Under NO circumstances buy anything ahead of time. Go rent or RV camp in an area you like first. I'd really worry about getting the grey winter blues up there after a life in SoCal.
