#3 Raleigh, North Carolina

The capital of North Carolina is one of the cities that offers plenty of activities to seniors while keeping the rent at a manageable level, despite the area having a cost of living that is slightly above the average. After all, it is only normal for a place where a mortgage would require you to pay almost $1,000 more when compared to the average rental place to have a slightly higher cost of living, but it is nothing that would make retirees who consider relocating for retirement not be able to settle here comfortably.

The livability score is 74, and Raleigh is a charming city that is going to offer you all the amenities you would want, from entertainment to healthcare!
