5. Vancouver, Washington

Compared to the rest of the country, Vancouver has an above-average cost of living. The housing market is expensive, with an average price of under $500,000. Its advantages are not powerful enough to transform it into an ideal city for retirement.

6. Bridgeport, Connecticut

The city has a great healthcare system, which is essential for retirees. The only problem is caused by the young population and the almost inexistent retirement-friendly activities.

Also, don’t forget that Connecticut has some of the highest taxes in the country.

7. Baltimore, Maryland

With housing and groceries above the national average, Baltimore is not a friendly place for retirees. However, it has an advantage. It does have access to the Johns Hopkins University and Maryland Medical College health systems.
