Cities and Small Towns for Affordable Retirement Living
Here is a listing, by State, of more than 80 affordable cities and small towns across the U.S. that are great places to retire. Because the desired lifestyles and budgets are different for all retirees, no attempt has been made to create a definitive list of cities as being the "best places to retire."
Rather, our editors have attempted to identify those places which we feel are the most desirable for retirement living in terms of those lifestyle factors which are most important to retirees, i.e., affordable housing costs, quality of medical care and facilities, tax burden and recreational opportunities. Also, we have placed great emphasis on finding affordable and attractive small towns which may not yet have been discovered by other websites or publications listing popular retirement destinations.
For each, you will find detailed information on lifestyle data and factors that enhance the quality of life for their residents, along with a list of local resources that might be helpful in your selection process for finding your best place to retire.
