9 Great Places To Retire

Retirees who want to move when they’re ready to quit their day jobs face a conundrum: They’d like to live in a slower-paced, budget-friendly small or midsize city, but they don’t want to travel for an hour or two to get first-class health care. // These cities solve the problem. All have at least one hospital that has received five stars—the highest rating— from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (based on up to 57 measures, ranging from infection rates to patient satisfaction surveys). Most are located in states that exempt retirement income from state taxes (or have low tax rates) and offer homes that are affordable, whether you’re looking to buy or rent. Major airports aren’t far away. And although some of our cities are small, they all offer a wealth of cultural amenities and plenty of ways to stay in shape and commune with the great outdoors.

MESA, ARIZ.

Population: 496,400

What $300,000 will buy: 3-bedroom, 2-bath singlelevel house with a large master suite with its own exit to the pool

Best place to exercise: Superstition Mountains

5-star hospital: Banner Heart Hospital

Arizona is known for its sunshine and golf courses, and Mesa has plenty of both. But the city has much more to attract retirees, such as its proximity to toprated hospitals, a cost of living that’s lower than the national average and a range of activities for lovers of nature, sports and the arts.

Golfers, for instance, can choose from more than 200 courses in the metro area. And the weather is favorable most of the year for many other outdoor activities, such as camping, biking, fishing at nearby Saguaro and Canyon lakes, and hiking.
