Need A Little Bit Of Info On Sheridan, Wy. Area

Recommended Posts

Howdy! I'm thinkin' of moving back out west again (yea, I'm a tumbleweed) and since I - like many others here - am fortunate enough to now be able to make a modest living off of my leatherwork (through my website and feebay), I can pretty much head off to any part of the country that I choose to. I currently am living is S.C. but my heart has always been in the mountains out west. I think I would like the Sheridan, Wyoming area for obvious reasons but have never been up there (though I've been pretty close). I really only have 2 real "must haves":

1) High speed internet (go back to printing Paypal shipping labels and managing a website on dial-up?) :head_hurts_kr:

2) Affordable housing. :rolleyes2:

As far as #1 goes, I think if I lived near a decent sized town that would probably be doable. I do know about Satellite Internet but from all I've read (and I've researched it a lot) it pretty much stinks. Unfortunately to find a decent price on a home or small piece of land I may have to live way outside of town and therefore may have to consider that option.

For #2 - anywhere within say a 50 mile radius would be nice but I could go out further from Sheridan if necessary to find affordable housing. From what I've seen on the real estate MLS search - homes in and around the Sheridan area are pretty high. I would prefer to buy something very modest but would consider renting if I had to. I'm single, 58, with no kids and my needs and lifestyle are pretty simple. I have a small nest egg saved up and would prefer to pay cash for something modest. When I say modest I mean as in not over about $60K and I realize that's not much to work with but then I am talking cash.

How 'bout it? Anyone familiar with the area? Is it possible to find affordable housing in that area or even an affordable rental or is the market there just way over-inflated? Any advice or input would be great! :whatdoyouthink:

Thanks,

Richard

Thanks Anne, PM sent.

I am still very interested in hearing from anyone else out there. I would love to get some different opinions, suggestions, etc. The right input may actually help me avoid making a poor decision based on lack of information that could potentially amount to thousands of dollars not to mention lots of wasted time and effort and besides, everyone has their own opinions/ideas about things - so the more input I can get the better... ;)
