When it comes to places for retirement, New England and the northeast states of New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania aren’t the first locations that come to mind, given their climate. However, these Northeastern locations have more to offer than meets the eye.
A recent analysis looked at cities of 65,000 and over, reviewing such metrics as the number of people aged 65 and above, housing as a percentage of income, the tax burden, the availability of retirement communities, access to medical centers, crime, and the rate of unemployment.
Here are the top 10 Northeast retirement cities, with the best listed first:
- Bethlehem, PA
- Danbury, CT
- Erie, PA
- Portland, ME
- Nashua, NH
- Warwick, RI
- Scranton, PA
- New Britain, CT
- Pittsburgh, PA
- Toms River, NJ
Your Retirement Shouldn’t Be Stressful
Your retirement years should be your best, and Council of Seniors believes Congress must pass The SAVE Benefits Act to make up for inadequate annual Social Security cost of living adjustments (COLAs) in recent years. Eligible seniors will be reimbursed $581 if it passes.
