Thanks John !!! Some of these spots i added to my list. Yes the Northeast is to expensive ! i also added the Poconos area.
I still have 2 South cities on my list still have Baton Rogue area , i was there for 20 years , my son is still there and new homes are less then 300k, medical is good and taxes low . Sarasota adds the proximity of Tampa as one of the things i miss is pro sports ( yankees come there twice a year )
i know there is no perfect spot, as mountain areas don't really add the big sports teams but Knoxville has the SEC , i love great college baseball the area is really affordable, has mountains, nice seasonal change too. I have a roundtrip planned later in the year to pretty much hit the area of the towns you mentioned above especially Roanoke. Boone is great
