Today Yahoo had an article about the top retirement spots for today's retirees.
It looks like retirees today are considering more options than just moving to Florida to golf.
They listed 6 interesting trends:
1. Small Towns - living in a friendly small town like Mt. Airy, NC.
2. Downtowns - living in places like Chicago, where they can do activities and use public transportation.
3. Mixed-use Developments - these are "live-work-play" projects with housing, businesses, and activities together - they bridge city and suburban life.
4. Hobby Farms - small scale "lifestyle" farms that are mainly run for pleasure.
5. Co-housing - a concept borrowed from Denmark, where people own condos, but have a common "central house" for a taste of commune living.
6. Rail Trails - thousands of miles of old railway lines are being paved into hiking/biking/walking trails, to allow retirees to have an active life.
