25 American Cities That Are Perfect Places To Retire

7. Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas

Here’s another two-for-one deal regarding places that are perfect for new retirees. Both Dallas and Fort Worth are fast-growing destinations that offer both a big city and suburban lifestyle. So what’s that mean for new retirees? It gives those who have retired the option to choose the feel of a small town with the conveniences of a city nearby. With shopping centers, restaurants, and entertainment readily available, they are sure to have something for everyone. A plus is that sports fans have professional teams there, in football, basketball, baseball, hockey, and soccer. There is a wide range of housing available, with property taxes considerably high, even with the exemptions for seniors, so keep that in mind (via Travel and Leisure). However, Texas has no state income tax (via Travel and Leisure).
