These 10 Small Towns Are Perfect for All Retirees

August 25, 2020 · Retirement Life

Apex, North Carolina

Over the past year, Alex, North Carolina has grown by at least 10%. Now, 59,300 people reside here and you could be one of them.
What makes Apex particularly enchanting, especially for former scholars, is the fact that it is a part of what is known as the Research Triangle area. You’ve got three major research universities just within reach: North Carolina State University, Duke University and the University of North Carolina—Chapel Hill. Because of this, Apex has seen a massive increase in opportunities and partnerships both between the three universities and private industries.

If you ever feel the need to stretch out a little, you can always visit nearby Raleigh for a little added spice to your activities. Not that you’ll grow tired or bored of Apex! Retirees like it for its walkability, so you can always go for a stroll and visit the recently renovates historic buildings from the 1800s.

PeakFest is a popular, annual fair that attracts big crowds for its fine arts, foods, and crafters, so make sure you’re always ready to attend!

Next, ‘Things going south’ doesn’t have to be a bad thing…..

    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.

      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.

    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.
