If retirement age is sneaking up on you — or has already caught up with you — you may be considering a move to a different city. After all, you’re not longer held down by a job or school district, so it’s time to shop around for the best place to live out your golden years. To help you make that decision, Forbes rounded up America’s most affordable retirement cities:
- Salt Lake City, Utah: The country’s fifth most-affordable city to retire in, Salt Lake has nearly 16 doctors per 1000 people — more than the national average — and a growing economy fueled by young workers.
- Houston, Texas: As the country’s fourth most-affordable retirement city, Houston offers beautiful weather, affordable housing, and a bustling economy. It was also voted the country’s Best Place to Buy a Home.
- Minneapolis, Minnesota: The twin city is the country’s third most-affordable retirement city, with a bustling art scene and rich nightlife options.
- Dallas, Texas: Dallas is the country’s second best retirement city, offering retirees low taxes, amazing weather, and a very strong economy. Southern hospitality doesn’t hurt, either.
- Columbus, Ohio: If you’re looking to stretch your dollars for high quality of life, the Columbus is the place to be. More than 20 percent of the city’s population is over 65, attracted by the city’s low cost of living and very affordable housing.
