Planning to retire? Here are the 30 best places in the US

If you or your loved ones are approaching retirement age, you may be thinking of getting out of the rat race and seeking a more dotage-friendly place to live. But where should you be looking? Of course, many retirees choose to stay in the same towns they’ve always lived and worked in, while others move to be closer to family. And because this survey only looks at large cities, it doesn’t include many smaller towns and developments that are famously popular with retirees. But it does cover the 100 largest metropolitan areas in the U.S., which is where the majority of retirees and non-retirees live. In this gallery, IBT publishes the top 30 places for retirees for 2018, starting with number 30 and working up to number one.
