Are you nearing retirement age? Or, are you considering the best path to take to set yourself up for a fiscally solvent exodus from the workforce? We all want to retire eventually. And, the question looms – where is the best place to retire? On the surface, many folks would answer, “Florida.” It seems to be the defacto destination, but, the truth is, mindsets are changing.
New Hampshire was ranked the best state to retire to by CNN in 2017.
Why?
Well there are myriad reasons.
New Hampshire offers a bounty of beautiful towns in which to own a home. Sought after towns to find and purchase real estate (and therefore some of the best places to retire in NH) include:
On the state level, New Hampshire’s tax situation is highly beneficial for retirees looking purchase property and to retire to the Granite State. It ranks among the 10 most tax friendly states for retirees as it doesn’t tax social security or other retirement income, nor is there a sales tax.
Another reason New Hampshire is among the best places to retire is the fact that the state ranks fifth in the United States for senior health and the quality of care that coincides with that notion.
Overall, it’s a prime location to retire to due to the aforementioned financial benefits, as well as its low crime rates, easy going lifestyle, cultural offerings, prime geographic locale, active outdoor activities and so much more.
More than 16% of the state’s residents are aged 65%+, so depending on which community you look to find a home in, New Hampshire boasts a network of peers who could very well become your neighbors. And, generally speaking, having people that are of similar age demographic is a solid means of developing inherent comfort amongst your surroundings.
So, when you start to look into what exactly makes New Hampshire one of the best places to retire, the next question you’ll have to answer for yourself is where it is within the state that you’d like to purchase real estate. And really, there’s no right or wrong answer because you can get anywhere you want to get to in short order.
