New York City, New York
I’m sure that at some point, we’ve all been in a New York state of mind. But should you move there? The Big Apple might seem like a thrilling and dynamic place to retire. Unfortunately, it’s not the most senior-friendly metropolis.
First of all, New York City is one of the most expensive cities to live in the country. For instance, the rent for a two-bedroom apartment costs around $2,500 per month. Furthermore, the taxes are incredibly high, and the city is always crowded.
While NYC scores high in walkability, the unstable weather, from blizzards to heatwaves, cancels out any of these benefits, and makes it one of the worst cities to live in.
…But at least it has a low crime rate.
