Gardnerville, Nevada

Nevada is a tax-friendly state for retirees, which makes Gardnerville a very good place to spend your retirement years. Apart from having a very low tax burden, Gardnerville also has the highest number of retirement communities in the state and numerous recreation centers for the elder population.

It offers great access to quality medical attention and medical centers. It’s true that housing costs exceed the state’s average but the town’s amenities and laid-back vibe more than compensate for the pricier real estate options.

    Not Kahului, Hawaii!! Average home prices over 1 million. Surely you guys are not serious. Cost more than 30% to live there than anywhere else in US. Infrastructure can not handle the locals and tourist at the same time. Most beaches are crowded and traffic is the pits. Do your homework and spend some time there before you send seniors there.
