AARP Magazine recently came out with a list of the top 10 places to retire in the United States, and Tulsa was included in the top 10, beating out 340 other notable cities across the country.
What makes Tulsa a great place to retire? It is a city that is both livable and affordable. These are vital characteristics of a city that a retiree examines. There are plenty of attractions and sights to fill your days, and there are several miles of walking and bike trails to keep you active and outdoors. Tax rates and home prices also contributed to the retiree appeal of the city.
The Tulsa movers feel that Tulsa is a great city for all ages—for young professionals right out of college to find work, for couples to marry and to raise a family, and for elder citizens to retire.
On the AARP list, the top 10 places are as follows:
- Cheyenne, Wyoming
- Columbus, Indiana
- Gainesville, Georgia
- Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
- Ithaca, New York
- Midland, Texas
- Portland, Maine
- Tulsa, Oklahoma
- Wenatchee, Washington
