Buckeye, Arizona
Buckeye, Arizona is yet another place that Retirees prefer to run off to in order to avoid winters. But beware! If you wish to live you should expect the heavy use of air conditioning in order to make it through the summer months. Still, we can’t help but feel that the desert climate and stunning backdrops are quite appealing.
Seniors will have plenty of opportunities to stay active with the help of a free Fitness in the Park program, provided by the city. You can work on your yoga, pilates and even Zumba if you’re bustling with energy. Furthermore, there’s the Rusty Spurs Social Softball Club which you should consider if you’re 50 or older! In terms of hiking trails, make sure to visit the White Tank Mountain Regional Park. It’s also an archeological site filled with desert flowers and petroglyphs.
Buckeye has grown by 7.1% over the past year, meaning that nowadays 79,620 people live here. Don’t forget that if you’re ever looking into a change of scenery, Phoenix is just 45 minutes away!
You won’t be a lone star in the next location…..

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.
