These 10 Small Towns Are Perfect for All Retirees

August 25, 2020 · Retirement Life

New Braunfels, Texas

You’ll find the charming city of New Braunfels, which has grown by 6.8%, between Austin and San Antonio. This might be a plus for those seniors who need to settle down in a quiet area but still prefer having a bigger city, or two, just out of reach. In 2019, the population was 90,209, according to the data from the Census Bureau.

It’s also an ideal location for seniors with grandchildren who wish to attract their families for more visits. The little ones won’t be able to resist a visit to the Schlitterbahn Waterpark or the Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch and Caverns. Worry not, you’ll also get senior discounts when you visit!

Another favorite activity among locals, not just seniors, is tubing down the Guadalupe and Comal rivers, especially during the warm summer months. Just don’t forget the bug repellent and you’re good to go!

New Braunfels was originally settled by German immigrants and even today the locals love to celebrate their heritage with several annual festivals. Wassailfest and Wurstfest are two of the biggest ones you can look forward to.

    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.
