New Jersey
This one may surprise you, especially since it starts our list and with how many jokes people make about it. But you should never underestimate the Garden State, and you would be surprised just how popular it can be. Not only is the overall life expectancy in New Jersey the eighth in the country, with 20 years on average for men (18.6) and women (21.2), but the state is home to the most sought-after city by retirees: Lavallette.
Not only is the city raved about due to the amazing beaches and the atmosphere, but it also markets itself to families and claims to have a seaside resort feel to it. And we cannot blame them, though with how everyone knows the town is gorgeous, there’s no need to try to sell themselves so hard.
Believe us, if you choose to live in this state after you retire, no matter the city, you won’t regret it!

it appears most recommended offering are in cold climates, are there any that offer warmer climates. good health care. affordable living. low are no taxes on retirement income
All high tax, high crime , and over regulated. Just amazing.
MA, NY, NJ, CT, MN, and HI are some of the highest taxed states in the country, and all except HI are cold weather states, also you need a high income to live in all of the listed states, but I do know from living in MN that the hospitals are better in northern states than southern states on the fact more people live in those states but living in SC is great weather is great it’s cheaper you can own a home for under 100k and you can live on a 2k social security check in SC you would be hard pressed to do that in any of the states mentioned in this article.
The problem with South Carolina is a shortage of medical staffing, is it not?
LOL; all blue states begging people to come back or stay. You can keep your sanctuary policies and corruption…hard pass.
You make a good point, as someone who will not choose to live in States where education is not a priority, where there is less high quality medical care per capita, where the desires of the bully pulpit crowd are put above those of the secular citizens, where books are burned (or at least removed from student access, where a woman can no longer choose whether or not she is ready to carry a child to term, where there is no restriction on religious interference in education, medical care or whom you are allowed to fall in love with. I don”t want to regress to pre 1940 / 1950 standards when so many suffered to attain those rights which should belong to every State and Commonwealth but instead are only enjoyed by those who can afflord the taxes which then get distributed to those ever lovin’ red states. As for Corruption, I can think of few institutions as corrupt as the Supremely perfect right leaning Court. Nobody is above the law and that includes those who interpret it as well as those who write the laws and the Ultimate Denier in Chief !
