4. Athens, Georgia
Athens is a nice and warm city in the Peach State, and it has a population of 126,913 people, of whom 21% are over 50. The weather, the cost of living, and the multitude of activities for retirees put this city on the list of the best southeast cities for retirees.
Georgia is a retirement-friendly state since it does not tax Social Security benefits and provides a deduction of up to $65,000 per person on all other types of retirement income for people 65 and over. Retirement income over $65,000 is taxed at a rate ranging from 1% to 5.75%, based on the amount.
There are also many properties that can be rented in Athens, and the median cost of a house is $242,275.
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.
