Tucson is tops!!
Had you been planning on a comfortable retirement until the economic downturn scrambled your nest egg? Do you think that you won’t be able to find that cozy retirement home on the beach or golf course that you had once had your heart set on? Well, it might not be as bad as all that. With home prices falling in some of Americas best retirement home destinations, this is a great time to find deals. But you need to know where to look.
Tucson, home of the University of Arizona, is a scenic, affordable place to retire. It is surrounded by mountains and the dry beauty of the Sonoran desert. It has its own airport, just six miles from downtown Tucson, more than 100 parks, a good public transportation system, and plenty of public and private golf courses. The university and University Medical Center are among of the state’s largest employers.
