Florida – Fort Meyers

One of the first Florida destinations on our list! After all, there’s no one else that loves the sunny state more than retirees! With multiple retirement communities around the state, it would be quite sad not to see it on any list. Fortunately for the state, it appears on our list of the happiest places more than once!

Fort Meyers is a very popular destination for retirees, partially because of the quaint town but also because there are a lot of activities one can do in the city and around it. From taking the boat to one of the nearby islands to explore or going to the Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge, these are just some of the amazing things you can do. If you’re planning to rent, the cost of living comes to a little under $2,000, and the rent will only be around $1,290 per month!
