6 Major Cities Where Seniors Regret Purchasing a Home

San Francisco, California

As the land of beaches, tech companies, and the golden gate bridge, many Golden State natives have an undying love for San Francisco. But for many people, this is a city that’s better to visit than to actually live in.

Retirees seem to dislike it for several reasons, their number one is dealing with the traffic. No matter where you choose to go, plan on being delayed. And we’re not talking about a rush hour either. Locals report that it’s just always, consistently bad.

Now, you might be thinking: How does this affect me? I don’t drive. Well, want to go grab some coffee with a friend? If they don’t live near you, they’ll be stuck sitting in traffic for hours. This can ultimately isolate retirees from many dear ones.

And while traffic is a huge grievance with the area,  in addition to the insane housing prices and overcrowding, you might just decide that the Bay area just isn’t for you.

    Asheville NC use to be a beautiful place to live but the policies the mayor has supported have destroyed this small city. Crime, mostly due to homeless drug addicts, have made Asheville a very dangerous place to live.

    I live in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and love it! Retired and single, lots to see and do! Crime is rising, mostly stolen cars. I take buses bc I’m native New Yorker. Beautiful natural areas. Good climate. Love being outdoors in clean air, under trees, or by the water.
