Check out these sites FIRST.

www.RetirementLiving.com Look before you leave!

www.relocationessentials.com Good hints.

www.bestplaces.net Some fun stuff to check out.

www.monstermoving.monster.com/Find_a_Place?Compare2Cities
This one can be a real help. It lets you compare cost of utilities, insurance, what kind of taxes they have, for example, no state tax but high sales tax. All sorts of stuff.
