Top US Cities for Retirement

When it comes to retiring, there is a great deal of things to consider. Perhaps, one of biggest is location. If your hometown is not an ideal place, preparing for a long distance move can be quite exciting. With a professional moving team and the right destination, your retirement will surely get off on the right foot. Depending on what you are looking for in a retirement city, there are plenty of great ones to choose from. Below are a few to consider.

Flagstaff, Arizona

If you are hoping to retire in a great city with excellent weather, Flagstaff may be just the place for you. The city experiences a lot of sunshine but goes to neither extreme when it comes to climate. It snows in the winter and stays pleasantly warm during the summer months. In fact, the sun shines in Flagstaff, on average, 78 percent of the year. The culture in Flagstaff is also strong, with plenty of restaurants and places to spend an evening out with friends. There are plenty of places to find housing for a reasonable budget, too.

Ithaca, New York

When it comes to places with a vibrant energy and exciting atmosphere, Ithaca is definitely one of them. Though it is known as a college town (Cornell University, Ithaca College), it can also be an enjoyable place for retirees. The real estate is very affordable and, with it being a hub for students, there is always a ton going on for you to be a part of. From concerts to sporting events and social gatherings, there is never s shortage of things to do and see in Ithaca.

Clearwater, Florida

Chances are if you are retiring, you want to head someplace where the sun shines and the weather is warm. A city that is near the beach wouldn’t hurt either, right? Clearwater, Florida, is a wonderful coastal town located just off the Gulf of Mexico. It’s a quiet place to just kick back and enjoy the beautiful beaches and great restaurants. Only 20 miles away from Clearwater is St. Petersburg, a larger city with an array of sporting events and cultural happenings on a regular basis. Being in Clearwater gives you access to pretty much anything you could want in a retirement.
