18. St. Petersburg, Florida

We think the reasons why so many seniors select St. Petersburg as a place to make the most out of your nest egg are twofold. Low costs play an important part- your money will simply take you further. Around 17% of the population is also aged 65 and older, so there’s a great sense of community for seniors to always count on.

St. Petersburg is also known as The Sunshine City due to it logging the most consecutive days of sunshine between 1967 and 1969 (768 days), and the trend still continues to this day. A short drive away will take you to the beach, but if you prefer to stay downtown you’ll probably find the city’s vibrant art scene especially entertaining.
