North of Gulf County sits Calhoun county, a place with over 14,000 residents, with a median age of 40.1 years. The territory spans over 574 square miles so there’s a small population density. This is perfect if you’re not exactly looking to be all up in your neighbor’s business.

Houses in the area go for around $74,200, but since this is a median price you’re surely going to find properties that go well below this price, but also more expensive homes. The cost of living in Calhoun County is 83.5, so you may be able to save up some money if you stick to the same expenses list you’ve always had.
