Florida –  Tampa

If there’s one place that all retirees know about, it’s Tampa! With 3.5 million people that currently reside in Florida that are over the age of 65, it would be pretty hard not to have an abundance of cities from this state on our list. And Tampa is one of the beach-forward places that just always makes it to the top of retirement spot lists. Retirees who love the beach and other water-related activities, such as fishing and multiple water parks for their grandchildren, are going to love Tampa.

On the other hand, despite all of the benefits, living here is quite expensive, with the average cost of living being around $2,403 per person per month, with only about $1,550 of that reserved for rent and other utilities. Despite it being quite expensive to live here, it is still an amazing destination you can choose if you’re a retiree that’s looking to relocate.
