Absolutely! Cities like Tucson, Arizona, or San Antonio, Texas, often come up for affordability. They offer warm climates, decent healthcare options, and lower costs of living compared to larger metro areas.
Tucson has a relatively low median rent, plenty of outdoor activities like hiking, and no shortage of sunny days. Plus, Arizona's tax policies can be favorable for retirees, especially with no tax on Social Security benefits.
Most of these cities have reputable healthcare facilities. For instance, Tucson has Banner Health and the University of Arizona Medical Center, while Asheville and San Antonio also have well-rated hospitals.
If you’re looking for an active lifestyle, consider Fayetteville, Arkansas. It has a lot of green spaces, hiking trails, and a vibrant cultural scene, all while being very affordable.
This is a really helpful guide for anyone planning their retirement on a budget! Safety and affordability are crucial factors when choosing a retirement destination. I’ve found that cities like Las Vegas offer a good balance of both, with a strong sense of community and lower living costs compared to other popular destinations. Thanks for sharing these great options!
Most of these ideal places you mention contradict what you showed in another recent video, where you say that people are leaving these places in the Midwest, partially because of the climate.
Instead, I would check out college towns, cosy and progressive towns in low tax states like Arkansas, Oklahoma and New Mexico. Cheap houses, warmer winters and natural beauty. By the way, I'm a liberal who grew up on Lake Ontario in New York north of Buffalo. I love the Great Lakes states, but the taxes and the weather became too much.
I've been looking into affordable places to retire in the U.S. Are there cities where you can live comfortably for under $2,000 a month?

El Paso unsafe with migratory mess
I'm sorry, but Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin and Texas have some of the highest property taxes in the country. Not exactly conducive to retirement living!
