You\u2019ve got a lot of decisions to make when you reach retirement, but one of the most exciting ones should be where you\u2019ll spend it. Whether you\u2019re planning on staying in your state or if you\u2019re looking to make a big move<\/a>, we\u2019ve got you covered. We\u2019ve looked into living costs, city size, healthcare, and recreational activities and we’ve put together a list of the top 12 best cities for retirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tallahassee, FL<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Tallahasee,<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

One of the biggest reasons people choose to retire to the Sunshine State is because Florida does not have a state income tax. But cost savings isn\u2019t the only benefit, especially when you move to Tallahassee<\/a>! You\u2019ll enjoy award-winning restaurants, state-of-the-art healthcare, a thriving arts and entertainment scene, and easy access to nearby beaches<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tallahassee offers activities and senior communities for every step of your retirement journey<\/a>. While you\u2019ll avoid the hustle and bustle of a big city, you\u2019ll still have access to all of the events and resources of a larger metropolis. Tallahassee has an international airport, 88 city parks, and arts and cultural festivals year-round. With less than 200,000 residents this capital city has a lot to offer, including southern charm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seniors also get to take advantage of lifelong learning opportunities<\/a> through Florida State University\u2019s senior program, Olli. If you\u2019re not interested in getting back into the classroom you can still enjoy the benefits of having 2 colleges in the city by attending one of the many sporting events held at Florida State or at Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this list of amenities, you\u2019d expect the cost of living to be comparable to one of the larger cities we have on this list. However, the cost of living<\/a> is 6.2% lower than the US average, and median homes prices are $220,100. It’s no wonder Southern Living selected Tallahassee<\/a> as one of the top retirement destinations in Florida!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Retiring to the beach sounds like a dream and in South Carolina, it could become your reality. Join the other 32,700 residents of Myrtle Beach when you retire and live the vacation lifestyle permanently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With over 60 miles of beaches stretching along the Atlantic Ocean, there\u2019s plenty of space to get some sun and relaxation. You can take a stroll on the boardwalk which is a tourist hotspot or ditch the sand and enjoy one of the 100+ golf courses in the city. Between the number of outdoor activities and local events at your disposal, you\u2019ll easily keep yourself busy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The downtown area features historic architecture and over 1500 restaurants to satisfy any craving you (or your grandchildren) may have. With the new addition of an airport, this city may be the perfect place for retirees who are looking to live the small town beach lifestyle while having access to amenities you\u2019d see in a larger city. Another one of those amenities is 3 hospital systems in the area to keep you happy and healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just a short drive from attractions like Walt Disney World Resort, Universal Studios, and SeaWorld, your new home is a tourist\u2019s dream. Don\u2019t let the thought of constant theme park visitors deter you from the city though! Depending on where you live in Orlando you may never have to worry about theme park traffic or tourists. Although there are 280,000 residents of the city so you may have to wait in some rush hour traffic if you choose to take advantage of the multiple highways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orlando offers highly sought-after Florida weather, which will keep you on the 175+ golf courses year-round. Some of the courses may even be in your backyard. The senior housing options in Orlando are bountiful, with 55+ age-restricted communities popping up constantly. Whether you\u2019re looking to purchase or rent a home when you retire, you won\u2019t have a problem finding your new community in Orlando.

It\u2019s no secret that California is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the nation. But you don\u2019t just get beaches living along the Pacific coastline. You\u2019ll also enjoy scenic hiking trails, over 260 days of sunshine, golf courses, parks, galleries, and top-notch restaurants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
