Best places to retire in the
US
Let us take a tour of various retirement
locations in different parts of the United States which should help
you to make the best possible decision about where you should
ultimately retire. Of course, you have quite a number of attractive
locations to think about – so the choice could be a difficult
one.
Let’s try to take stock. For starters,
there’s St. George in
Utah, with its picturesque setting, close to the Snow Canyon, Bryce
Canyon and Grand Canyon. An attractive place, with its own novel
features of cultural life such as the Shakespearean Festival, the
Tuacahn Theatre and highlights such as the Huntsman Senior Games, to
name just a few.
Then there’s Bellingham, offering you the unique
charm of scenic
beauty coupled with urban convenience. Among the highlights here,
you’ll find the Interurban Trail System and ski slopes of
Mount
Whistler and Mount Baker nearby, which will surely beckon if you are
fond of skiing.
The richness of Portsmouth comes mainly from the historical
atmosphere of the place. There are so many old and unique properties
here. And then of course there’s the Music Hall for concerts
and
the Strawberry Banke historical Museum.
Savannah has an old world charm about it with plenty of
mansions,
old oak trees and walking trails. And don’t forget the
Telfair Art
Museum and Coastal Senior, the magazine that makes Savannah unique.
Largo in Florida has plenty going for it, as it is practically
a
vacation spot in itself. Apart from the low crime rate and the
variety of people living here, which has resulted in a diverse range
of cuisine, you really must visit the Largo Cultural Centre, where
music festivals are often held.
And what about Franklin in Tennessee, with its small town
charm –
a charm so powerful that it brought in senior citizens who had
already settled elsewhere? Franklin will give you your fill of
scenic beauty with its rolling hills. The pace of life is slow here
and may be just what you want. The cost of living is also fairly
low.
In Ann Arbor, you’d have the scenic beauty of parks
and beaches
combining with the intellectual atmosphere of the University of
Michigan. Another highlight of this town is the Lydia Mendelssohn
Theatre. Not far away in Detroit, you can also visit the Fisher
Theatre and the Detroit Institute of Arts.
Fort Collins in Colorado offers you yet another combination of
scenic beauty and an atmosphere somewhere midway between a city and a
town. The Rocky Mountain National Park is a major attraction here. For
shopping dining and theatre, you could visit Denver, which is
fairly close.
In Portland, once again you have that attractive blend of life
in
a big city and a small town, along with more than 240 parks that
provide you with a refreshing abundance of greenery. You will enjoy
visiting the Waterfront Park and the Saturday Market. If you are
keen on skiing, you could also go to the Timberline Lodge.
You’ll
find sports and nightlife in Portland too, along with a
well-developed transport system.
McCormick will offer you plenty of scope for recreation at the
Hickory Knob State Resort Park. You could also visit the McCormick
Arts Council. Greenwood nearby will interest you if you are fond of
shopping. There are medical facilities here too. As a retired
person, the Savannah Lakes Village is a vast settlement that could
interest you as a good place to look for housing. You will find
several retired people here.
Then again, there’s Seneca, where you’ll
find the unique
feature of a naturally formed recreational area. A few miles away
are the South Carolina Botanical Gardens at Clemson. From Seneca,
you’ll have access to the South Carolina National Heritage
Corridor
and the Foothills Parkway. You also have the choice of a host of
outdoor activities, a lively downtown area and a variety of homes
from which to choose, including old properties, lakeside retreats and
villas.
Sumter is another delightful place, where you’ll
find a
combination of scenic beauty, a pleasant climate and educational
facilities, along with a number of star attractions. These include
the Swan Lake Iris Garden, the Sumter Gallery of Art, the Sumter
County Museum and the Sumter County Public Library, to name just a
few. The Newcomers’ Club should help you get acquainted and
settle
in.
So, now that you have quite a comprehensive picture, you
should be
in a fairly good position to decide where you want to live when you
retire. On the other hand, given the number of attractive locations,
it wouldn’t be surprising if your choice turned out to be a
difficult one!
