When it comes to retirement places in New England, it’s hard to outdo what’s available in Vermont. There are quaint charming towns and villages to choose from throughout a place whose motto is “Freedom and Unity.”
Niche.com has rated the Vermont towns using government data regarding a range of criteria, from the cost of living, the number of retirees, school systems, and crime rate to the number of sunny days and access to healthcare.
Here are the Top 10 out of 25 locations, starting with the very top:
- Cornwall
- Shelburne
- Hartford
- Montpelier
- Dummerston
- Wilder
- Rutland Town
- Guilford
- East Montpelier
- Moretown
Despite the rural nature of the state, almost all those chosen rated well in terms of schools, a family atmosphere, and the friendliness of residents. The state capital of Montpelier was tops in terms of cultural and artistic amenities.
Your Retirement Should be Enjoyable
Retirement should be easy and stress-free, which is why Council of Seniors wants Congress to pass The SAVE Benefits Act now. This bill is needed to ensure the annual Social Security cost of living adjustment (COLA) keeps up with inflation. Its passage will reimburse seniors $581, money that should have been paid in recent years.
Please sign our petition right away. Congress must learn the growing number of people who support this bill.
