Can you still get a great retirement home for $300,000? Oh yes, you can. U.S. home prices have soared 47% since 2020. This has made many traditional retirement destinations unaffordable (looking at you, pandemic-era South Florida). But if you’re ready to retire, there are still plenty of affordable retirement locations available.
These unexpected retirement destinations offer a friendly atmosphere, beautiful architecture, and plenty of senior amenities. From beachside towns to larger cities, this list should give you plenty of ideas for retiring in style without breaking the bank.
