Where are the best places to retire?
Hello, friends. I’m Dawn D’Amico, your favorite realtor. Today, we’re diving into the dreamy world of retirement destinations. If you’ve ever wondered where you can retire in style and comfort, you’re in the right place, but first, let me ask you this.
Do you know where you want to spend your golden years?
The best places to retire can vary widely depending on your own priorities and the retirement lifestyle that you envision for yourself. Stick around and I’ll share some fantastic options that will definitely have you thinking about sticking a for sale sign in the yard of that big old house you’re living in right now.
Then, you’ll be running off to view some brand new shiny model homes in the retirement destination of your dreams.
So, when it comes to choosing your retirement haven, it’s all about finding the perfect balance between lifestyle, amenities, and affordability. Whether you’re dreaming of the sunny shores of Florida or the serene mountains of North Carolina, there’s a place that will be heaven on earth for you.
Before we explore these exciting destinations, let me share a quick story with you. I recently met a wonderful couple who wanted to sell their New Jersey townhome and buy a retirement home in St. Augustine, Florida. Their dream was to be on the water, or close to it, so that they could enjoy their sailboat as much as possible.
I got their home on the market and connected them with a top agent down in Florida who is an expert at new construction in St. Augustine.
Together, we coordinated the sale of their home in New Jersey and the purchase of their new home down south seamlessly and with very little hassle for them. And, they could not be happier!
So, let’s talk about some of the top retirement destinations to see that might strike your interest.
#1 Florida
Option number one, the sunshine state. So first, let’s talk about Florida with its year round warm weather, stunning beaches, and multitude of retirement communities.
Florida has long been a popular choice.
Places like Sarasota offer a rich cultural scene while Naples boasts luxurious golf communities. And, don’t forget about the Villages, a vibrant and active over 55 community that is now a city in itself. Young people who have visited are counting the days to be 55 so they can live in this fun and exciting destination.
The swinger rumors you’ve heard are not true, although maybe amongst a certain group of people, just like anywhere else. But when I visited here, all I encountered were super friendly people who were happy to meet new friends.
#2 Mountain Resorts
Option number two are mountain resorts. If mountains and a tranquil lifestyle are more your speed, you might want to consider North Carolina.
Locations like Asheville, nestled into the Blue Ridge Mountains, offer breathtaking sceneries, outdoor activities, and a thriving art scene.
North Carolina is an excellent choice for those who desire a serene landscape.
#3 Coastal Charms
Option three is Coastal Charms. For coastal charm and a slower pace of life, the South Carolina Lowcountry is a hidden gem.
Areas like Charleston and Hilton Head Island combine historic charm with stunning waterfront living. It’s a place where you can savor fresh seafood, explore historic sites, and enjoy the ocean breeze year round.
#4 Desert Oasis
Option four, a desert oasis for those who love the desert and an active lifestyle. Consider the retirement communities in Arizona cities like Scottsdale and Tucson which offer world class golf courses, spas, and a thriving cultural scene to the Sonoran deserts.
The natural beauty provides a unique backdrop for your retirement years.
#5 Cultural Richness
Option five is cultural richness. Let’s not forget about the cultural richness of cities like Santa Fe, New Mexico.
With its vibrant art scene, diverse cuisine and stunning Adobe architecture, Santa Fe offers a unique blend of tradition and a mix of modernness. This makes it an ideal place for retirees seeking a culturally enriching experience.
Bonus Destination
And next up, let’s talk about niche communities. There are niche retirement communities tailored specifically to interests.
For example, if you’re a military veteran, you might explore communities like the villages at Skyline in Colorado Springs. This is a community designed exclusively for veterans, providing a supportive and active environment.
