With a population of 187,603, of which 30% are older than 50, it is no wonder that Knoxville, Tennessee, made it to our list of the best southeast cities for retirees. This place has anything a senior can dream of, and the best part is that the prices are extremely accessible.

We know that retirees love quality medical services, and Knoxville definitely has this. Also, you don’t have to worry about getting to a hospital because all six major hospitals are conveniently located throughout the city.

The cost of living is another important aspect that any senior is interested in. Hopefully, Knoxville has a cost of living that is lower than the national average, and it also does not have state income taxes. That means you don’t have to pay extra taxes on your Social Security income, your pension, or your 401(k). The median home value is $261,151, which is great compared to other cities of the same size.

    I agree 100%, Anita. The Midwestern states, in some of the smaller cities and towns, like Monona or Verona, WI, are among the BEST places to retire. They are very health-conscious communities with walking trails, cycling trails, parks, and lakes throughout Madison, WI, and the suburbs.

    Looking for a warm State on the East Coast….non-hurricane location if possible.
    Retired Air Force MSGT . Widower (recent). If a Military Base is nearby so much the better but not a deciding factor. Looking for a comfortable, year round weather location.
    Virginia Beach area familiar to me. Lived there for4 years and really fell in love with it. However maybe your suggestions might enhance my thinking.
