Bozeman, Mont.
If you’ve ever dreamed of living your golden years in the mountains, this is the place for you. Bozeman is located in southern Montana, and it’s surrounded by amazing ranges and national forests. South of the city, you’ll have Yellowstone and Grand Teton.
The geography is appropriate for someone who simply loves hiking, mountain biking, skiing, and backcountry exploring trips. Hunting and fishing are very popular too. However, don’t expect complete isolation.
Montana State University’s Bozen campus has almost 17,000 students. While you might have never expected to have energetic co-eds as your neighbors, you should enjoy the dining, culture, and entertainment options that come along with it.
Yes, everyone that works should have benefits for their retirement.
Regarding article by Dorothy ,”9 Amazing Small Towns to Retire In” Middletown, Connecticut is first. I grew up in Middletown and visit once in a while. Restaurants are a too many thing on Main Street,etc. The ability to purchase newspapers for local news is gone. Unless a college-related bookstore has changed its mind. It is no longer a Barnes/Noble corporate bookstore. Central News, a longtime outlet is long gone and is replaced by a sandwich shop. A lunch place called Ford News has no newspapers despite its name and serves meals like a diner till midafternoon . Also on Main Street north of that location is another diner. Both have been main stays on Main Street long before these new food palaces arrived on the scene and seem to give Middletown its new reputation. As for Wesleyan Univ., one must live downtown to only walk to campus for amenities. Middletown Area Transit buses operate Mon-Sat 6am-6pm only. I would like my former city to be like other New England towns with a operating main street. Grocery stores have left downtown also. Drug stores also are gone from downtown
You are out of your minds! Recommending ice boxes like Montana, Minnesota, New England states, etc. to us old geezers with aches and pains and no desire to tread on snow and ice is a total non-starter.
I have a strong feeling that these candidates for “best” are bought and paid for. Older folk with their chronic issues typically hate the cold.
I live in Vermont and would not consider Burlington a small town. It is a nice place but is also the largest city in the state.
