This Florida neighborhood claims to be “the golf capital of the world” and one of the state’s best cities to retire. It’s next to the Gulf of Mexico in the southwest part of the Sunshine State and an hour away from Fort Myers.
Naples offers pristine beaches, beautiful sunsets, shopping centers, high-end boutiques along the streets, world-class golf courses, and one of the most sought-after retirement locations. Its historic downtown is also famous for Naples Pie with pleasant winter weather.
The Naples–Marco Island area was ranked number 1 in the 2017-18 Gallup-Healthways Well-Being index regarding financial security, health, community, and a sense of purpose. Aston Gardens at Pelican Marsh is a highly-recommended place in Naples for retirees.
NCH Healthcare System, Mayo Clinic, and a few other small hospitals take good care of the people and help them to recover from any illnesses they may have.
Interested in looking. Plan on moving within the next year.
Would it be possible to have some information on the 6 places to retire in Florida to me. I’m 70 years young and thinking of moving to Florida permanently to be with My Daughter and Grandchildren who moved there a year ago and I haven’t been to visit them yet. But I am Retired. Thanks
Wonderful article…very comprehensive and chock full of good information!
What kind of housing for seniors in Lake Wales and Lake Alfred? I’m interested in small houses and condos. Please mail inf. 2118 Freeland Road, Freeland, MD 21053.
Thank you
I will never retire in Florida, as long as you have a dictator as Governor!!!
I didn’t see any where about this being a political debate!!!!
Your stats and comments don’t jive. The crime rate for Gainesville is about 1:25. That doesn’t sound safe at all! You say Edgewater is a bigger city (pop. 21,000+)than the others in the list. Gainesville has a population over 150,000, many times larger than Edgewater!? I can’t read anymore of this
How about availability of rental properties for about 6-8 weeks?
