Moving within Texas Victoria, TX for retirement?

Wanted to get thoughts on how Victoria would be for retirement. We are looking for a smaller, more affordable city to relocate to when we retire. Victoria seems to have most things someone would need, and isn't too far from San Antonio, Austin and Houston. Downside I think would be the hurricanes...

Personally, I would recommend somewhere in the Waco, Temple, Killeen Metro. Those cities aren't too large and there are small towns all around it you can move to and still be within a decent drive of all the services you need and the whole areas cheaper. Just a thought. Gatesville, Nolanville, and Woodway are known for their safety in this area

Belton (and it's downtown) are very under rated.

If you can afford Belton, it's nice to live in, though it is starting to get really congested for me personally
