And knowing the best cities to retire can help you make your hard-earned dollars go farther when you\u2019re ready to put your plan into action.\n    <\/p>\n<p>So, what makes for a good retirement city?

It bundles farmland, suburbs and a lively downtown area all into one. You can also visit the Amish communities where folks get around on horse and buggy and live without public electricity. Don\u2019t worry, social butterflies, the downtown area features monthly arts and music festivals. Lancaster also has a winter mountain resort, hiking trails, corn mazes, tractor pulls and even a notable dog park.\n    <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Taxes:<\/strong> No tax on income from pensions and Social Security benefits<sup>2<\/sup><\/li>\n<li><strong>Median Home Price:<\/strong> $226,500<\/li>\n<li><strong>Median Monthly Rent:<\/strong> $1,050<sup>3<\/sup><\/li>\n<li><strong>Average Temps:<\/strong> 76 degrees \/ 31 degrees<\/li>\n<li><strong>Average Annual Rainfall:<\/strong> 44 inches<sup>4<\/sup><\/li>\n<li><strong>Special Feature:<\/strong> Oldest Amish settlement in the U.S.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Pensacola, Florida<\/h3>\n<p>White sand beaches and emerald water\u2014what\u2019s not to love about Pensacola? Located in the Florida Panhandle bordering Escambia Bay and Pensacola Bay, Pensacola is also known for world-class fishing. And when you\u2019re recovering from fun and sun in the Gulf of Mexico, Pensacola\u2019s historic downtown, with its brick-paved sidewalks, has plenty of shopping and restaurants. Founded by the Spanish in 1559, Pensacola was the first European settlement in the United States. And each June the city celebrates its diverse Spanish, French and British history with a 10-day heritage celebration.<sup>5<\/sup>\n    <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Taxes:<\/strong>\u00a0No state income tax<sup>6<\/sup><\/li>\n<li><strong>Median Home Price:<\/strong>\u00a0$200,800<\/li>\n<li><strong>Median Monthly Rent:<\/strong>\u00a0$1,046<sup>7<\/sup><\/li>\n<li><strong>Average Temps:<\/strong>\u00a081 degrees \/ 53 degrees<\/li>\n<li><strong>Average Annual Rainfall:<\/strong>\u00a057.7 inches<sup>8<\/sup><\/li>\n<li><strong>Special Feature:<\/strong> The Blue Angels precision-flying team is based at the Naval Air Station Pensacola.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Naples, Florida<\/h3>\n<p>Along the shores of the Gulf of Mexico, Naples can be found soaking up the sun in the southwest corner of Florida. The city offers miles of fine white \u201csugar\u201d sand beaches, calm waters and perfect weather. Naples has plenty of golf courses, exquisite shopping and fine dining. Nature lovers can head up to the Audubon Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary to explore protected wetlands and native wildlife along a boardwalk trail or from the observation tower. Naples also provides some of the best dolphin viewing opportunities in the area. And for the artsy ones, there\u2019s the Baker Museum, Naples Philharmonic and free jazz concerts at Cambier Park.\n    <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Taxes:<\/strong> No state income tax<sup>9<\/sup><\/li>\n<li><strong>Median Home Price:<\/strong> $345,000<\/li>\n<li><strong>Median Monthly Rent:<\/strong> $1,374<sup>10<\/sup><\/li>\n<li><strong>Average Temps:<\/strong> 82 degrees \/ 65 degrees<\/li>\n<li><strong>Average Annual Rainfall:<\/strong> 39 inches<sup>11<\/sup><\/li>\n<li><strong>Special Feature:<\/strong> Naples Winter Wine Festival\u2014one of the most successful charity wine auctions in the country\u2014raises millions of dollars for children\u2019s charities every year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Asheville, North Carolina<\/h3>\n<p>Surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina is a land of cool mountain air and breathtaking views\u2014yup, we\u2019re talking about Asheville. Now, if you have a creative itch, you\u2019ll love Asheville. The place is jam-packed with art galleries, museums, historic architecture and artists\u2019 studios\u2014like the ones at the colorful River Arts District. Plus, there are over 100 different local craft breweries. But if you\u2019re someone who likes it quiet, you can enjoy hiking at the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the Pisgah and Nantahala national forests\u2014just do yourself a favor and look out for black bears.\n    <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Taxes:<\/strong> No tax on income from Social Security<sup>12<\/sup><\/li>\n<li><strong>Median Home Price:<\/strong> $278,750<\/li>\n<li><strong>Median Monthly Rent:<\/strong> $953<sup>13<\/sup><\/li>\n<li><strong>Average Temps:<\/strong> 72 degrees \/ 35 degrees<\/li>\n<li><strong>Average Annual Rainfall:<\/strong> 46 inches<sup>14<\/sup><\/li>\n<li><strong>Special Feature:<\/strong> The historic Biltmore House is the largest privately owned house in the U.S.<sup>15<\/sup><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Sarasota, Florida<\/h3>\n<p>Sarasota often ranks among the top cities to retire. Located just below Tampa, Sarasota offers all the outdoor fun you\u2019d expect, like boating, fishing and beach activities. Speaking of beaches, Sarasota\u2019s are praised for their clear, warm water and fine, white sand. Also, the city tends to lean more toward accommodating older folks by providing a ton of activities like golf and shopping. Let\u2019s just say you\u2019ll definitely find plenty of things to enjoy in this city.\n    <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Taxes:<\/strong> No state income tax<sup>16<\/sup><\/li>\n<li><strong>Median Home Price:<\/strong> $387,600<\/li>\n<li><strong>Median Monthly Rent:<\/strong> $1,259<sup>17<\/sup><\/li>\n<li><strong>Average Temps:<\/strong> 82 degrees \/ 62 degrees<\/li>\n<li><strong>Average Annual Rainfall:<\/strong> 40 inches<sup>18<\/sup><\/li>\n<li><strong>Special Feature:<\/strong> Some of America\u2019s best beaches, including Siesta Key Beach<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Harrisburg, Pennsylvania<\/h3>\n<p>Located on the banks of the Susquehanna River (we think we spelled it right), Harrisburg is the capital of Pennsylvania. It has a small-town feel, but it\u2019s just a short drive to big cities like New York, Washington, D.C., and Pittsburgh. Harrisburg has undergone a revitalization in the last few years, and that includes adding lots of building-sized murals. The city is also close to Hershey (aka <em>Chocolate City<\/em>) and Gettysburg National Military Park. If you\u2019re a sports fan, you can drive across Market Street Bridge to City Island in the Susquehanna River to catch a Harrisburg Senators Minor League Baseball game.\n    <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Taxes:<\/strong> No tax on income from pensions and Social Security benefits<sup>19<\/sup><\/li>\n<li><strong>Median Home Price:<\/strong> $298,800<\/li>\n<li><strong>Median Monthly Rent:<\/strong> $970<sup>20<\/sup><\/li>\n<li><strong>Average Temps:<\/strong> 76 degrees \/ 30 degrees<\/li>\n<li><strong>Average Annual Rainfall:<\/strong> 43 inches<sup>21<\/sup><\/li>\n<li><strong>Special Feature:<\/strong> Pennsylvania\u2019s capitol building includes a dome that\u2019s a replica of St. Peter\u2019s Basilica.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Ann Arbor, Michigan<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re more of a Northerner at heart, you probably want to retire in a city that experiences all four seasons. Well, Ann Arbor, Michigan, might be the retirement city for you. Just west of Detroit, this Midwestern city is home of the University of Michigan\u2014which greatly influences its charming, walkable, college-town vibe. You can stroll past restaurants, bars, bookstores and gift shops or cheer on local sports teams at big college game events. The change in seasons allow for year-round outdoor activities, like mountain biking, kayaking, ice skating and snowshoeing. Also, the hospitals and medical care centers are praised for being among the best in the country.<sup>22<\/sup>\n    <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Taxes:<\/strong> Social Security benefits are not taxed<sup>23<\/sup><\/li>\n<li><strong>Median Home Price:<\/strong> $270,600<\/li>\n<li><strong>Median Monthly Rent:<\/strong> $1,161<sup>24<\/sup><\/li>\n<li><strong>Average Temps:<\/strong> 73 degrees \/ 24 degrees<\/li>\n<li><strong>Average Annual Rainfall:<\/strong> 37 inches<sup>25<\/sup><\/li>\n<li><strong>Special Feature:<\/strong> Michigan Stadium, the largest sports stadium in the U.S., can hold over 107,000 spectators<sup>26<\/sup><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Daytona Beach, Florida<\/h3>\n<p>Although probably known best for the Daytona International Speedway, which hosts NASCAR\u2019s famous Daytona 500, Daytona Beach offers plenty of other things to do. Some pastimes are especially nice for retirees, like fishing, golfing, and visiting museums and performing art centers. And of course, there\u2019s the beach. During the winter months, the sun and sand bring travelers who are looking to escape the cold weather elsewhere. But trips to the beach are especially convenient because you\u2019re allowed to drive cars on the beach in certain areas.<sup>27<\/sup><sup> <\/sup>\n    <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Taxes:<\/strong> No state income tax<sup>28<\/sup><\/li>\n<li><strong>Median Home Price: <\/strong>$339,100<\/li>\n<li><strong>Median Monthly Rent: <\/strong>$1,127<sup>29<\/sup><\/li>\n<li><strong>Average Temps: <\/strong>81 degrees \/ 60 degrees<\/li>\n<li><strong>Average Annual Rain: <\/strong>41 inches<sup>30<\/sup><\/li>\n<li><strong>Special Feature:<\/strong> Most famous race in NASCAR, the Daytona 500<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Charleston, South Carolina<\/h3>\n<p>Charleston is filled with historic homes, churches and other buildings. Walking its streets can feel like you\u2019re stepping back in time. The city\u2019s Waterfront Park is a great place to take in views of sailboats in Charleston Harbor and Fort Sumter (where the first shots of the Civil War were fired). The Old City Market is <em>the<\/em> place to shop for crafts from local artisans. And don\u2019t forget the low-country food that\u2019s a staple in South Carolina coastal towns. (Shrimp and grits, anyone?)\n    <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Taxes:<\/strong> Social Security benefits are not taxed<sup>31<\/sup><\/li>\n<li><strong>Median Home Price:<\/strong> $448,600<\/li>\n<li><strong>Median Monthly Rent:<\/strong> $1,197<sup>32<\/sup><\/li>\n<li><strong>Average Temps:<\/strong> 81 degrees \/ 51 degrees<\/li>\n<li><strong>Average Annual Rainfall:<\/strong> 48 inches<sup>33<\/sup><\/li>\n<li><strong>Special Feature:<\/strong> Boone Hall is one of America\u2019s oldest working plantations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Nashville, Tennessee<\/h3>\n<p>Nashville is full of life! Day or night, the Broadway strip features live music performed by some of the best aspiring musicians in the world. Also, you never know when you might bump into some of the music industry\u2019s brightest stars like Taylor Swift, Luke Bryan, Carrie Underwood or Keith Urban. If music isn\u2019t your thing, don\u2019t worry. You can cheer on the city\u2019s two pro sports teams: the NHL Predators and the NFL Tennessee Titans. Want a break from all the noise? Take a short trip to nearby Franklin for a more small-town atmosphere.\n    <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Taxes:<\/strong> No state income tax<sup>34<\/sup><\/li>\n<li><strong>Median Home Price:<\/strong> $445,360<\/li>\n<li><strong>Median Monthly Rent:<\/strong> $1,135<sup>35<\/sup><\/li>\n<li><strong>Average Temps:<\/strong> 79 degrees \/ 38 degrees<\/li>\n<li><strong>Average Annual Rainfall:<\/strong> 52 inches<sup>36<\/sup><\/li>\n<li><strong>Special Feature:<\/strong> Full-scale replica of the Greek Parthenon<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Austin, Texas<\/h3>\n<p>Austin is the capital of Texas, and it\u2019s known for its live music scene that centers around rock, country and the blues. That\u2019s right, music lovers, we\u2019re looking at you! Austin also has 250 parks for outdoor activities, so there are plenty to choose from. Film festivals, conferences and events\u2014like the famous South by Southwest Music Festival\u2014continue to grow in size every year, so there\u2019s never a dull moment.\n    <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Taxes:<\/strong>\u00a0No state income tax<sup>37<\/sup><\/li>\n<li><strong>Median Home Price:<\/strong>\u00a0$504,270<\/li>\n<li><strong>Median Monthly Rent:<\/strong>\u00a0$1,326<sup>38<\/sup><\/li>\n<li><strong>Average Temps:<\/strong>\u00a086 degrees \/ 51 degrees<\/li>\n<li><strong>Average Annual Rainfall:<\/strong>\u00a036 inches<sup>39<\/sup><\/li>\n<li><strong>Special Feature:<\/strong>\u00a0Named \u201cLive Music Capital of the World,\u201d for its nearly 200 live music venues<sup>40<\/sup><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Lakeland, Florida<\/h3>\n<p>That\u2019s right, it\u2019s a land of lakes! (No, not the butter.) Lakeland is home to nearly 40 beautiful lakes, so retirees have plenty of options to enjoy Florida\u2019s weather on the water. It also offers close proximity to popular cities like Tampa and Orlando. Yep, Disney World and Universal Studios are less than an hour\u2019s drive away.

The town has several draws for sports lovers\u2014Dallas is home to the Cowboys of the NFL, Mavericks of the NBA and Texas Rangers of the MLB. And grandkids will want to visit attractions like Six Flags Over Texas and the Great Wolf Lodge indoor water park. And if you dream about the cowboy life, you\u2019ll be happy to hear there are plenty of opportunities to attend rodeos and country-style two-step dance events.<sup> <\/sup>\n    <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Taxes: <\/strong>No state income tax<sup>44<\/sup><\/li>\n<li><strong>Median Home Price:<\/strong> $394,400<\/li>\n<li><strong>Median Monthly Rent:<\/strong> $1,188<sup>45<\/sup><\/li>\n<li><strong>Average Temps:<\/strong> 86 degrees \/ 47 degrees<\/li>\n<li><strong>Average Annual Rainfall:<\/strong> 41 inches<sup>46<\/sup><\/li>\n<li><strong>Special Feature:<\/strong> Nicknamed \u201cCowtown\u201d after cattle drives saved the economy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Melbourne, Florida<\/h3>\n<p>Just about a 90-minute drive southeast of Disney World, Melbourne has a front-row seat of the Atlantic Ocean. And you know what that means\u2014beaches galore! Boating, surfing, fishing and watching manatees are all daily activities you can enjoy there. For you space nerds, Melbourne offers exciting views of spacecraft launches thanks to its close proximity to Cape Canaveral and the Kennedy Space Center.
