Today Overseas Property announced the top cities for retirement in the US and cited several reasons why they chose their featured cities. And, as expected, the Triangle area was featured in the Top 5.  I've been writing about the Active 55 segment and why the Triangle is becoming such a fabulous place to retire in the past and have found that the criteria that is being used to judge the best place to retire compliments the features and attributes available in our town. 

Here are the reasons sighted by Overseas Property as reasons for choosing a particular area which are all attractive reasons for moving to the Triangle: 

• √ college towns for a familiar feel
• √  a new locale
• √  one with appealing cultural and recreational activities
• √  purchasing vacation homes with view to being there in the future

Here is the criteria used to base the top retirement rankings and, as I mentioned, the Triangle scores high in all categories:

One of the top reasons for moving to a particular area is the draw of "familiar".  No wonder so many retirees want to call the Triangle home.  They have families that have moved to the area with their careers and they want to keep them close.  What's even more important - the younger generation is embracing the idea of having their families closeby. I previously wrote a post called Why is the Triangle Area becoming so popular for retirement? that shows all of the resources that allign with the criteria described above that you might find interesting. 

If you are thinking of moving to the Triangle and are looking for a Senior Real Estate Specialist in the area feel free to give me a call.  We will have a lot to talk about!
