Where to live in retirement, you ask? This is one of the many questions that we face once we consider taking the leap towards workforce-freedom! Perhaps you had a career that dictated where you lived during most of your adult life or possibly your residing state was based on where most of your family lived.  The good news is that retirement can offer you more opportunities to relocate, and Florida is an excellent choice!

Get away from the cold –Florida’s winters are kind to its residents.  With temperatures between 50 and 70 degrees, your snow-shoveling days are over!

Why has Florida become a destination for retirees? Florida has a number of active adult communities that offer amenities within their communities.  Some of Minto’s 55 and better communities include, Sun City Center and Town Park!

Lifestyle –Cost of living, crime, health care and weather are just some of the factors that matter most to retirees and Florida is ranked high in all of these areas.

Entertainment –Whether it’s getting away for the weekend to popular vacation spots nearby such as the Florida Keys, Miami, or St. Augustine, Florida’s highways provide a pleasant and convenient drive to each destination.

What are some of the reasons why you or someone you know selected Florida as the state to retire?
