The 25 Best Places for Singles to Retire

A fulfilling retirement is different for everyone. For some people, it’s all about the grandkids. For others, it’s about finally having enough time to explore new hobbies. If you’re single, you have the freedom to choose the city or community that fits your needs in retirement. If you’re on the hunt for somewhere new to settle down in your post-working years, spots with fellow unmarried folks and reasonable home prices are attractive options.

55places.com looked at over 29,000 cities designated by the most recent census data, focusing specifically on major areas with a population of 20,000 or greater. We then broke down each area by how many single or unmarried people made up the total population. Additionally, we added in a median price to income ratio from the census data to target areas where you can reasonably afford a home.

From that data, here are 25 of the best places for singles to retire.
