The word retirement in today's society is viewed in a negative light because it seems to indicate the end of something. However, it is one's own personal definition of "retirement" that will help in finding the best place to begin this next important phase of life.

According to a recent study conducted by the North Carolina Center for Creative Retirement (NCCCR), Texas has leaped over California and Arizona to claim the number two retirement destination state in the country. Florida retains the number one position, attracting over 16 percent of all retirees who move across state lines.

On New Year's Day, 1960, Del Webb's latest project, Arizona's Sun City, opened to the public. The flagship of active adult communities was an instant success. It was the first retirement community of its kind and came to redefine the future of housing and retirement industries.
