1. Spuyten Duyvil — New York

And finally, we made it to our number one position. Spuyten Duyvil is said to have it all- which makes sense considering its livability score of 70. Seniors make up 28.1% of the population. Now, let’s talk about amenities.

First off, home prices are a lot lower than what you’d expect from New York City. You’ll find gyms and pools pretty much everywhere you look, so you’ll always be able to keep active and stay on top of your health. Furthermore, the community also praises the neighborhood’s low crime rate and high median household income.

There’s always something to do in this neighborhood since there are a lot of bars, restaurants, coffee shops, and parks to enjoy. Another thing visitors will notice apart from a variety of amenities? Spuyten Duyvil’s cleanliness. That, combined with picturesque historic homes make this retirement destination seem like an urban fairytale.
