The 5 Best Cities for Retirement
What matters to you when choosing a retirement destination? The common perception is that retirement is all about beaches and warm weather, but there are other factors that are an important part of the decision process.
With that in mind, Bankrate recently published the results of its "Best and Worst Cities for Retirement" report for 2017, ranking major metropolitan areas based on healthcare, taxes, crime rates, well-being, cost of living, things to do, the concentration of senior citizens, access to public transportation, and yes -- weather.
