Is late 50's too late to start a new life elsewhere?

DH and I. Intending to move to a market town in the next year. He'll be 60 and I will be 58.

Daughter currently lives near the town but of course may move on - she's only mid 20's. I know the area well as we spend most weekends there.

No real friendship circle here - just 3 or 4 people that I may see monthly.

It's odd that despite living in a big city, there seem to be more community events in the smaller town.

Is it too late to move and make a new start?

I'm really just worried about being socially isolated as I get older.

Any positive stories of others relocating at similar age?

I know an amazing lady who moved from one end of the country to another on her own at age 75! She moved to be nearer her daughter but didn't move right next to her (about 5 miles away) and has very much established her own life.
