6. San Antonio, Texas
If you’ve always wanted to live in a city as big and active as Boston or San Francisco without worrying about criminally high prices, then you should set your sights on San Antonio. A house here would cost you $250,000. Just think about it, you could buy five at that price in San Francisco!
You’ll never feel alone in the 7th most populous city in the U.S., we guarantee it! Yourself and an army of tourists could visit the Alamo Mission in San Antonio, a historic Spanish mission and fortress compound, but that’s not the only attraction suited for history buffs in this major city.
Retirees could find all their entertainment needs down the River Walk in the Downtown area. Which is lined with restaurants, bars, shops through which an endless stream of folklorico and flamenco music passes. Finally, you could end your walk (or bike ride) with a visit to the Arneson River Theater, another popular attraction.
