3. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Even if Steel City does not fit the stereotypes of retirement destinations, over the last year this place has become a hot spot for those who want to relocate in their golden years. It is true that Pittsburgh is not sunny Florida or vibrant California, but it has inexpensive housing, affordable health care, and, most importantly, it is safe.

This city has the comfortable cost of living that every senior wishes for. A big part of the retirement income won’t be taxed; this includes contributions from retirement funds such as 401(k)s and IRAs and also Social Security income.

Now, if we take a look at the healthcare sector, we can see that, in terms of geriatrics, the UPMC-University of Pittsburgh Medical Center is rated 11th in the US.

Pittsburgh has many tourist attractions, museums, and colleges, but despite all of this, the prices for housing are incredibly affordable. If you have a mortgage, you will spend an average of $1,227 per month. But if you are renting, the price will drop to $642 monthly. Lastly, in the best-case scenario, if you have a house without a mortgage, the average cost per month will be $453.
