Sarasota Named #1 City For Retirement! According to TopRetirements.com, a national website, Sarasota is the best place for retirement in the United States, quite an honor and much deserved. The website is managed by John Brady, a retired executive of a business information publisher. The list was highlighted by MarketWatch, part of Dow Jones & Company.
The top reasons for Sarasota's coveted position are the high quality and variety of cultural amenities, reasonable home prices (especially in today's market), general living costs and the warm winters. This particular winter has been one of the warmest and most pleasant ever!
Mr. Brady rates his choices on a variety of factors including weather, quality of health care, property taxes and a certain "WOW" factor. Sarasota definitely has the "WOW" factor with the wide choice of cultural venues, the sparkling Gulf of Mexico beaches (Siesta Key is rated America's #! beach), the vibrant downtown, educational opportunities, plethora of exciting restaurants in all price categories, the wide range of shopping, the unending list of things to see and do and so much more.
The list of the top ten places to retire includes: 1. Sarasota, FL 2. San Antonio, TX 3. Naples, FL 4. Tucson, AZ 5. Asheville, NC 6. Beaufort, SC 7. St. Augustine, FL 8. Fort Myers, FL 9. Venice, FL 10. Prescott, AZ.
For anyone looking to retire and truly enjoy an "active" retirement, Sarasota is a definite city to look into! For more information on moving to Sarasota please contact me at keith@keithkropp.com !
