Bentonville, Arkansas
Brenton, Arkansas is yet another beautiful retirement destination for seniors who are having a hard time letting go of certain comforts that smaller towns don’t typically offer. You can find everything you’d ever need here thanks to the city’s growing economy and quality of life.
In terms of fun activities, you can always walk, bike or hike through the 120-acre Ozark landscape.
In addition, make sure to visit the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, as admission is free, where you can view famous paintings by the likes of Georgia O’Keeffe, Andy Warhol, Norman Rockwell, and Roy Lichtenstein.
If you ever need a change of scenery, make sure to visit nearby Bella Vista, another popular retirement destination. Here you’ll find more than enough lakes and golf courses for all your favorite outdoor activities.
Bentonville has grown significantly over the past year, seeing a 7% growth in population. Now, according to the data, 54,909 live here. This is partly due to the fact that it’s home to the Walmart headquarters which helped boost the economy even further.

A lot of the suggestions are cities that are known not to be very receptive to people of color. It would be nice if your collection would expound upon that and offer suggestions that would keep such factors in mind.
Thanks for your comments. Do you have recommendations that take that into consideration?
No one would be safe there let’s be realistic. That’s why people of color run to predominantly white areas because where peaceful people.
Most of these cities are in warmer climates. That makes sense. I see recommendations for people to move to Vermont or something where they’d be trapped indoors half the year or more. Not every retired person dreams of show-shoeing or skiing. It’s a lot easier to stay active when you can actually get out and do things.
Someone needs to explain to you people what a “small” town is. A town with 70000+ people is not a small town.
Does it have quality medical, dental, VA and grocery stores?
I take it that this doesn’t include assisted living facilities. As I could use one that doesn’t cost more than my SSI monthly stipend.
