10. Miami, Florida

The average home price is almost $2 million in Miami. It’s also a loved place by tourists, which makes it even more expensive. Miami isn’t a good idea at all for retirees who want to save, travel, or find new hobbies.

11. Wilmette, Illinois

Chicago retirees would be very happy to escape the city and live as retirees in the charming town of Wilmette. The problem is that Wilmette’s property taxes are the second-highest in the country. You’ll pay over $800,000 to buy a house but you will still pay a lot for the taxes.

We recommend you visit Wilmette, but don’t consider it a good city for retirement.

12. Lynnwood, Washington

Lynnwood has access to impressive Pacific Northwest landscapes, but it doesn’t make it a good place for retirement. The costs of living in Lynwood are very high and it has just a 16% population over 65 years old.
