Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota

The metro area here will offer you a higher quality of life at a great price. If you’re 65 or older, you can easily rent a condo here for $795 a month. Also, if you own a home, you might pay around $546 a month (as long as you don’t have a mortgage) and $1,443 a month (if you’re still paying the mortgage).

There’s also the University of Minnesota, which means that you’ll have access to audit classes as well as many other interesting presentations, concerts, and even sporting events. Also, you’ll have the Mayo Clinic nearby, in Rochester, which means that you will have access to the best hospital in the United States.

If you feel that you’ve done your research and have decided on your next retirement home, that’s great! However, if you’re not in your best shape and you also can’t afford to live in any of these cities, we recommend you read this: 8 Reasons to Consider Living in a Nursing Facility

    I live in Florida and it is still slow and easy if you move into the right smaller cities and rural
    areas. There are some great small towns close by to larger areas. Prices are lower, traffic is
    not a problem and local governments work for the residents.

    Consider small cities as Mulberry, Bartow, Fort Meade, Dade City, Lake City, Plant City,
    Cedar Key, Wauchula, Sebring, Lake Placid, and many others. Many of these small towns
    have a good quality of living. Florida living does not necessarily meaning the “household
    name” communities.

    I live in SWFL and see a large influx of people coming in, it is straining resources. Sarasota is growing UP with a lot of tall buildings so even more people are moving into that space going up and out. It’s always a good idea to check the local resources, quality of water and pros and cons before committing. I’ve been in Florida since 1988 and it’s not slow and easy anymore. So many more people adds cars, traffic, more animal casualties and more pollution. Less wide open spaces to roam.
