Top US Retirement Destinations to Consider
When you are planning your life, do you plan to live and retire right where you are or do you plan to retire elsewhere? New property options, downsizing, and even getting a bigger home, can all appeal. But what really makes a great place to retire to? It is a little bit of a trick question, as the answers are going to be different for different people. Some people will want to retire where the sun never stops shining. Some people will want to retire in an area close to walks, golf, and winter sports. Others will prefer an urban retirement, being able to walk to museums and cafes right from their apartment.
Even if you don’t have any plan to move or relocate at the moment, hopefully, this list of locations could help to motivate or inspire you, for when you think about retiring. There are locations for all budgets and tastes, so which do you think will work best for you?
Catalina, Arizona
Set against the Santa Catalina Mountains, the area of Catalina is very picturesque, and a really traditional retiree destination. The sun shines, and living in this location could mean days filled with golf, spas, shopping, and stunning sunsets. It is a mid-size town, located near Tucson, and it has pretty much anything and everything that you would need. There are great places to shop, as well as museums and attractions close by, which can be great for when family comes to stay.

Palm Desert City is going to be the place to be if you are a lover of good weather, and want to spend retirement enjoying the arts. It is located in the Coachella Valley area, and has a population that is over half populated with the over 50s. So there would be plenty of people in a similar situation, and an active community to be able to get involved in. There are lots of activities going on, so it is great if you’re an active person. Think yoga, cycling, hiking, and swimming, as well as golf, and jogging trails.

Upper West Side, New York

But for someone that wants to experience something different, or just loves the hustle and bustle of city life and amenities, then retiring on the Upper West Side could be for you. You can enjoy the best of both worlds, as you’re so close to all that you need in the city. However, you will be able to enjoy New York State as a whole, with places like Clarkstown, NY only a short drive away. If you like to be active, like to keep busy, and like to have different things to do each day, then New York could be the place for you.
