Why is North Carolina Seen as a Top Destination for Retirees?

Retirees often choose North Carolina as their retirement destination to:

  • Enjoy the climate for their active lifestyle
  • Enjoy all four seasons without extreme cold or heat
  • Enjoy comfort thanks to an affordable cost of living. 

North Carolina also offers a stunning backdrop for outdoor enthusiasts. The Blue Ridge Mountains, near the retirement community of Tryon Estates, in Columbus, NC, is ideal for hiking, kayaking, and fishing – activities that support an active, healthy retirement lifestyle. Another NC community (Matthews Glen near the Charlotte area), was also voted the best "Over 55 Community" in Matthews-Mint Hill.

There are many retirement communities in the area designed with older adults’ interests, wellness and social connection in mind. If you’re interested in a community that also offers access to healthcare for any scenario in the future, explore continuing care retirement communities. These communities provide even more peace of mind with predictability, especially given the state of our turbulent economy. Residents prearrange all their health needs in today’s dollars, which can significantly save money. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask us anything about senior living in North Carolina.
