Affordable Retirement: Buy a Home in Ann Arbor
When we think of living in Ann Arbor we typically think about either young families, or undergraduate/graduate students attanding the University of Michigan – Recently though, the U.S. News announced that Ann Arbor Michigan is among the most affordable retirement spots!
Ann Arbor is a lively college town with many senior-friendly ammenities including concerts, art fairs, lectures, sporting events, courses, museums, and attractions that say “if your idea of retirement is buying a home to sit on the front porch rocking chair and watching the time go by, then don’t come to Ann Arbor.” With many of the attractions free and the ability for Seniors to obtain free bus service and discounted taxi rides, Ann Arbor begs you to participate in the community. The U.S. News describes Ann Arbor as being just far enough from Detroit that it feels insulated from Michigan’s battered auto industry. Moreover, real estate prices have held up much better than in other parts of the state, where a depressed economy has decreased home values. Ann Arbor has big-city amenities, including ethnic restaurants, ample shopping, and visits by world-class performers like Yo-Yo Ma and the Berlin Symphony Orchestra.
“There’s an interest group here for just about anything you can imagine,” says Ron Powell, a retired professor who bought a home and moved to Ann Arbor with his wife, Jeanne.
To find affordable retirement spots, U.S. News sought out places with a low cost of living and reasonable housing prices that still offered access to the services and amenities that people should look for in an ideal retirement spot. Each city on the list has high-quality healthcare and elder-care facilities, as well as an abundance of educational and cultural events. Not all of the places on the list will feel downright cheap to those hoarding hard-earned dough for future expenses, but they all offer a good value for retirement dollars!
