Retirees who would like to move to Boston will have tons of things to do, from visiting a myriad of historical haunts to taking the ferry to Spectacle Island or a hop on the commuter rail. The median home price in Boston is $423,450 and the median monthly rent is $1,335.

AARP said that what makes the difference between Boston and other cities is that it has a rich culture, lots of parks, and a higher quality of life in its suburbs. Plus, if you’re retiring from a government job or the military, Massachusetts is the best place to do it. Most payments from public pensions will be exempt from state taxes.
