From the editors of Where to Retire magazine, America's most authoritative source of information about retirement towns and developments, comes accurate and reliable help for all those seeking a great new town for retirement. Completely updated, the fourth edition is fact-filled with statistics on population, climate, cost of living, housing costs, taxes, education, transportation, health care and more. Because facts and figures alone can't capture the beauty, personality or public spirit of a town, there are interviews with people who have relocated to each town, telling what retirement in their new hometown is really like. Included among the 100 are the editor's designations of the nation's 10 best towns for art, lakes, beaches, colleges, mountains, lower-cost living, small towns, undiscovered towns and main streets.

This review is from: America's 100 Best Places to Retire, Fourth Edtion: The Only Guide You Need to Today's Top Retirement Towns (Paperback)
This is a good book giving lots of information. The stats I liked and are very useful. The narrative could have been better in that the interviews with the people for the most part seem to be with people who have lots of available cash. Not exactly your average retiree. I know this from those who were interviewed in this book who retired to my area (Arizona). Only the upper crust can afford to live and do what these people who were interviewed could do. Take the interviews with a grain of salt. I live here and I can't afford to retire here.

Disappointing, Outdated Book,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: America's 100 Best Places to Retire, Fourth Edtion: The Only Guide You Need to Today's Top Retirement Towns (Paperback)
Before you buy this book, note that it was published in 2007. I bought it ten days ago, thinking it would be the answer to my research dreams, but I was wrong. Not only did it arrive with someone else's shopping list inside (which means that the previous owner was smart enough to return the book to Amazon), but also the information in the book is disappointing and outdated. Potential retirees are pointed to some states with high property tax (like New Jersey and Texas); the reader has to filter through endless, highly personal stories given by people who have retired; and the book contains 2006/2007 hotel prices, which has nothing whatsoever to do with hotel prices in 2011, or retirement.

Easy read with a lot of good information about various retirement areas. The best information has to do with taxes and health care. I do question why some of the people who already live in one of the 100 best places to retire are highlighted as moving to another one of the best 100 places to retire. It does make one think.
