Personal Consumer Issues • Re: Moving to Colorado?

We retired and moved to Denver. After my husband died, I moved back to VA. We were close to medical care, an airport and so forth. A half acre lot? That's fine if one is xeriscaping; remember most of CO is semi-arid and high desert. (Denver is green due to wise planning 100 years ago which established a system of reservoirs connected by tunnels and canals.) Medical care can be a challenge with many folks going to Denver from elsewhere. Folks are on oxygen so much they don't get a second glance while back east, even though I live in a CCRC, I have not seen one person on it. I found driving a challenge on I-70 and noticed not many seniors drove on it.
What part of VA and would you recommend it?

I've lived ~70% of my life in Maryland and the rest of it in Arizona except for college in Blacksburg (although not a place I would want to live, too small). Colorado seems nice due to the mountains, and seasons. PA is another place since it is close to MD and may be cheaper due to taxes on retirement accounts although property/school taxes can be high.
