Arizona and Florida are the standard choices for the finest place to retire in America and with good reason. Florida has a lot to offer retirees. It has warm days year round, easy access to the ocean, and a growing population of elderly people. Go fishing or swimming easily or grab a friend and hit up one of the many golf courses.
If you want a financial reason to move to Florida residents there can get up to $25,000 tax exemption on their dwelling if they are a permanent resident.
Want to get busy with your retirement or just plain relaxing?
Or consider a place like Green Valley, Arizona. This city has a very moderate climate so residents do not have to worry about scalding summers or chilly winters anymore. Look for something to do? Pick up a tennis racket, visit a fitness club, take in an art museum, see a concert or eat at one of many great restaurants. Concerned about your health? La Posada is a facility there designed to help the elderly and those suffering from dementia or other memory problems.
Need a bigger hospital? Tucson, Arizona is just 25 miles away. Arizona is arguably better than Florida in that it may get hot but that it tends to be dry heat with no humidity but either one of these is the best place to retire in America.
Door County in upper Wisconsin is arguably the best place you can retire in America too. Experience the joys of all the seasons. See gorgeous fall colors in the autumn. Go swimming in the summer. In winter relax by the fireplace or make your way to one of the many plays or concerts held nearby.
Getting a house on the shoreline is more expensive but a condo in nearby Sturgeon Bay could be quite affordable. Living areas for those who need help can be found in Sister Bay and Sturgeon Bay.
It is hard to pick the best place to retire in America. But these are three of the best in terms of good weather, interesting things to do, and price.
