Because I have the SRES(Seniors Real Estate Specialist)designation, I often work with retirees. One of the frequent questions I am asked is what areas seniors should consider for retirement.
When it comes to the most popular retirement spots, you already know many of the usual warm-weather favorites. In fact, a recent Harris Poll confirmed that rural California, Florida, Hawaii, North Carolina, and Oregon are the most popular places where people aged 62-plus would choose to live. Realtors in those locations, and in Arizona, Nevada, and Washington State...destinations that many of my clients favor...should be prepared for an influx of retirees.
Last year, Bizjournals.com did a comprehensive report on the hottest retirement destinations and found some surprising results. Urban destinations making the top-ten list included Portland, Maine; Youngstown, Ohio; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; and Knoxville, Tennessee. Top small-town destinations included Gardnerville Ranchos, Nevada, Pahrump, Nevada, Del Rio, Texas, Brevard, North Carolina, and Ocean Pines, Maryland.
