Bozeman, Mont. 

If you’ve ever dreamed of living your golden years in the mountains, this is the place for you. Bozeman is located in southern Montana, and it’s surrounded by amazing ranges and national forests. South of the city, you’ll have Yellowstone and Grand Teton.

The geography is appropriate for someone who simply loves hiking, mountain biking, skiing, and backcountry exploring trips. Hunting and fishing are very popular too. However, don’t expect complete isolation.

Montana State University’s Bozen campus has almost 17,000 students. While you might have never expected to have energetic co-eds as your neighbors, you should enjoy the dining, culture, and entertainment options that come along with it.

    Every single one of these places is way too expensive to live for retirees, except possibly West Virginia, but I may be wrong! Do some research and it’ll tell you to stay away from those states as retirees!! The Northeast is not where retirees want to be! Connecticut? Are you serious?? How old is the journalist writing this piece…25??

    Currently a lifelong resident of Erie Pa. Great place to live and I do it for less than $1500. a month. Winters are much milder and summer, spring, and fall is much warmer. It has a beautiful lake and forests. Surprised that it isn’t listed for one of the most reasonable?

    I wouldn’t touch any of these “so-called” retirement places! Yuck and yuck. Who came up with this list and how did they come up with the “criteria” for this list?? Wasted my time skimming through it.

    Most are ultra liberal towns; no to that. Liberals are arrogant, think they are better than everyone else, most are Godless. That would be hell living around people like that. Sure there will be exceptions to that, but that is just what it is, a smaller number of exceptions.

    This entire “retire in usa” is so obviously pro Trump and his party! Why are you couching your hidden agenda in articles to help seniors and sneak these thoughts into their heads? You should be ashamed. Please give us information, but don’t do it in such an underhanded, sly, snakelike manner. Leave the politics out and give clear, transparent information. By the way, any true patriotic American will never vote for a habitual liar, cheating on his wife, draft dodging, tax evading, racist, women no choice, no church going person like Trump. Just look at the facts. Oh and by the way, remember the Billy Bush interview? Keep your mother’s, daughter’s and wife’s private out of arm’s length of Trump. This man failed 1st grade where I was taught not to lie, cheat, steal or call people names like fat and ugly! Open your eyes and call it what it is.

    Why are you using an aerial photo of Sarasota, Florida as your headline photo when the city isn’t listed? Makes one wonder about the accuracy of your article.
