| Description: |
‘’Where do you [we] want to live in retirement? Most folks age in place. But there are those who spend their golden years in dreamy locales. Where are those places?‘’
Source: Yahoo! Finance, by Robert Powell -- Well, the 100 most popular retirement towns for 2010 are -- no surprise -- mostly located in the Sun Belt states, according to TopRetirements.com. In fact, 68 of the 100 top positions were occupied by warm-climate towns. Florida dominated the list, taking 23 of the spots, followed by North Carolina (11) and South Carolina (8).

MedCall’s Road Tour for Mid March 2010
1. Asheville, N.C. Asheville is a long-time favorite, said Brady. Part of its ongoing appeal is its climate (it's mild year round); its location (it's in the Blue Ridge Mountains; there's water everywhere for fishing and boating, and its downtown is walkable and dynamic); its housing stock (there's a wide range of upscale housing opportunities for seniors). What's not so special is that Asheville gets crowded in the summer and overdevelopment is coming.
2. Winston-Salem, N.C. Why Winston-Salem is the seventh most visited place on the TopRetirements.com's Web site is a bit of a mystery to Brady. To be sure, there's culture (Reynolda Gardens and the Reynolda House Museum of American Art) and a downtown that features the Wachovia Center. And the cost of living is low (0,000 is the average home price). But on the downside, Brady's Web site reports that development is proceeding very quickly, with attendant traffic. And some young professionals say there is not enough to do in the Twin Cities. Plus, crime is a concern in Winston-Salem.
3. Beaufort, S.C. Beaufort is a terrific place to love, not far from Hilton Head and Savannah, said Brady. What's special about this city? It's a charming old town in the Sea Island. It's won tons of awards, including "Best Small Southern Town," "Small Town Arts" and "Best Fishing Town." It has plenty of golf courses. The city has 304 acres designated as a National Historic Landmark. And the winters are mild. What's not so special, according to TopRetirements.com: It can be over run by tourists in season Not for people in the fast lane.
4. Smyrna Del. A small, former farming town of about 8,000 in north central Delaware midway between Wilmington and the oceanside community of Lewes. The latter town has plenty of active adult communities, beaches and land, and an attractive tax structure.
