Baby boomers are either already enjoying retirement or nearing it. With a job no longer linking them to a certain city, this generation is often ready to make a move. In an article by Travel & Leisure, real estate experts shared their picks of the best places to live based on financial benefits, lifestyle, climate, and the kind of community they want to be part of.
These are eight great options for baby boomers:
- Las Vegas, Nevada – Step away from the neon lights and giant casinos, and residents can enjoy world-class golf courses, year-round warm weather, and a growing cultural and culinary scene.
- Greenville, South Carolina – Retirees looking for “slower-paced charm” appreciate the walkable downtown, mild climate, and affordable housing.
- Scottsdale, Arizona – It’s the perfect place for seniors seeking warm weather, luxury amenities, and an active lifestyle.
- Boise, Idaho – If natural beauty and outdoor adventure appeal to you, consider Boise. It offers plenty of outdoor recreation, a strong sense of community, and a comfortable cost of living.
- Ocala, Florida – Realtors say this quaint community near the rolling hills of north central Florida is attracting those who want to live in the Sunshine State but can’t afford popular retiree places like Palm Beach or Naples.
- Raleigh, North Carolina – Situated between the beaches and the mountains, and having several universities in the region, Raleigh offers plenty of activity to fit any lifestyle.
- Tampa, Florida – Boomers seeking coastal living without a huge price tag are finding Tampa to be a great place to call home.
- Charleston, South Carolina – Historic charm and Southern hospitality draw many to Charleston.
