Published: Sat, 10/14/17

There are so many “best places to retire” lists to consider, but I think that’s a good thing.

While each list is different because they use different data to come to their conclusions, it’s great to check them all out because they can bring different places to your attention.

To come up with their best places to retire list, U.S. News analyzed data for the 100 largest metropolitan areas in the USA to assess how well they meet Americans’ retirement needs and expectations. Top criteria include the happiness of local residents, housing affordability, tax rates and healthcare quality.

Here are the cities in Florida that made the list, and a snippet of what they said about each place.

Twin Lakes, by Jones Homes USA, is now selling homes from the $200k’s in the Orlando Area...#20 on the US News list. Centered around a truly expansive 20,000 square foot Clubhouse complex on the tranquil shores of Live Oak Lake, it’s perfect for a relaxing afternoon poolside or a large evening celebration in the party friendly patio area. Here, residents enjoy lakeside living with boating, fishing, kayaking and amenities usually reserved for fine resorts.
