Where You Said You Will Retire – Lots More Suggestions!
Category: Best Retirement Towns and States
May 19, 2021 — Last week we asked our Members to tell us where they retired, or where they are considering. The response, although certainly not overwhelming, did come up with a lot more suggestions. To see all of them you can go to the Comments from that article, 29 of them so far. We have summarized (lightly editing) the places that were mentioned there, but you should really read the originals in their entirety to get more detail. We also encourage you to tell us where you are retiring, either at the bottom of this article or on the original one. Thank you to all who contributed, we really appreciate you making the effort!

We moved from St. Louis to the DFW area in Texas 22 years ago for employment reasons. Two of our four children are residing in DFW and another will be soon. So, because there will be three children in the area, at least for now, the pull of future grandchildren has kept us in the area. We sold our big house this year and moved about 20 miles farther out to a new development in Flower Mound, Texas. This allows us to keep our doctors, dentist etc. and still be close, but not too close, to the kids and grandkids.

We moved from Albuquerque NM to the Fox River Valley in NE Wisconsin to be closer to family. Yes, it’s cold here in the winter and yes, it snows a lot more than in central NM. But compared to ABQ, the crime here is almost nonexistent. We can leave our home here in WI in the winter for warmer temps and not have the worries of possible break ins, vandalism, theft, etc. we loved the NM climate and the food but are quite happy here in WI.

Retired to The Villages in central Florida. Incredible community. Most golf holes and most pickleball courts of any place on Earth. Golf on executive courses, of which there are 40+, is free. Over 100 swimming pools and numerous recreation centers. Over 3000 clubs and activities that cover every imaginable activity.
