    Forget Florida, Retire To North Carolina's Coastal Retreat With A Vibrant City, Gardens, And Beaches - Islands (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Florida doesn't have a monopoly on beaches or great places to retire. If you aren't enchanted by the idea of spending your golden years by the beach, you might want to consider North Carolina. Long a popular state for retirees, Wallethub ranks it as the 13th best state to retire in, and according to the Census Bureau, it has over 2 million residents over the age of 65. If your heart was set on living that beach bum lifestyle, North Carolina has you covered, with over 300 miles of shoreline direc

    Forget Florida, Retire To This East Coast Escape Between Boston And Providence With Wetland Trails And Charm - Islands (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Florida will probably always remain popular with retirees, but recently the Sunshine State has been slipping. Recent extreme weather, soaring insurance costs, and terrible traffic mean the long-time retirement champ doesn't always come out on top in current rankings.

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Florida routinely tops lists of the best retirement states. Although part of that is probably due to sheer momentum, it's been the most popular retirement state for decades. With so many seniors already there and a culture built around them, it makes sense that more people keep flocking there, but retiring in the Sunshine State still offers clear advantages. There's no state income tax, so Social Security benefits, pensions, and 401(k) withdrawals aren't taxed at the state level. Its property ta

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    When CNN recently called Sarasota County the best town to visit in America in 2026, locals weren't surprised. This scenic stretch of land on the Gulf Coast between Tampa (just 60 miles north) and Fort Myers (about 80 miles south) has long been a popular tourist destination, but it's hit another level in recent times.
