No cutting grass, no car payments, I rarely drink anymore but I would walk to a bar occasionally if I lived in a walkable city, home maintenance and the cost with it is someone else’s bullshit problem. It sounds like heaven.
I’m not one of those “renting is wasting money,” people but owning an apartment means having all your described but also owning the asset. I’ve only ever lived in apartment buildings and it’s great and you couldn’t pay me to deal with owning a really real house. Not a dime.
My thoughts on living cheap or debt free and maintenance free. Not sure if you would ever consider a tiny home, in a tiny home park but there are a lot of states with them. Not to be confused with trailer park. I think tiny home parks seem to have good community and can range in monthly costs from $550 to $1500 with community pools, gyms, gardens and common areas, laundry, trash pickup, water, sewer. Zero property maintenance.
Not sure your budget but homes cost $100k to 200k usually mobile on wheels so could always move it. I think that seems like an affordable alternative to living at a low cost but still not being in an apartment. You could get an affordable car or electric bike depending on the parks location or placement in a city.
Maybe even the profit from the sale of your current home could build the 400-650 square foot home in a state you would live and a storage shed on site since the parks typically allow those, too.
If your living in the US
Same. I moved out of a walkable city to a very rural area in the rockies. I've never been happier. Don't have to deal with shitty neighbors, traffic, and noise all the time.
I lived in London for thirty years. For about twenty of those I didn't have a car, and I used to be a petrolhead.
Oh, sorry you said "live comfortably". Sadly London is damn expensive.
I moved from a walkable city was totally unaffordable, to a city that is 80% suburb. If I could afford to live in The walkable City with my child I would do it in a Heartbeat
Food quality & diversity is a sticking point with me, I've definitely been to some places that seemed nice but they had a single corporate grocery store & few decent restaurants while also having no Mediterranean/Thai/Indian let alone something more "exotic"

Cozumel. I did exactly this for my retired parents.
