Grand Rapids, Michigan

This city near Lake Michigan has so many wonderful art attractions, such as art museums (the Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park, but also the Grand Rapids Art Museum).

Also, if you didn’t know where President Gerald Ford grew up, it was here, and that’s why the city is now the home of the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum. Retirees can easily rent an apartment here for only $792 per month. Also, homeowners who are 65 and older might pay $1,113 a month if they still have a mortgage to pay and $454 if they don’t.

Madison, Wisconsin

The state capital of Wisconsin is also the home of the University of Wisconsin. The city’s biggest employers are the state government and the university. If you’re interested in getting a home here, it’s worth mentioning that retirees who are 65 and older will pay an average of $1,466 per month, and those who already have a paid-off house will only pay $662. Also, the median rent in Madison is $898.

    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.

    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.
