CNN Money recently released a report of the 25 Best Places to Retire in the United States. Coming in at #2 on the list, just behind Port Charlotte, Florida, is Palm Springs, California.
With approximately 42 percent of the population over the age of 50, Palm Springs makes for a welcoming post-work hometown. Mountain views and year-round sunshine add to the town’s appeal, as well as the many cultural activities in the area that offer family-friendly educational entertainment.
Perhaps one of the most appealing aspects of Palm Springs for those looking to retire is its general affordability. For example, the average 3-bedroom home in Palm Springs is currently worth a reasonable $250,000. And while there are certainly mansions in Palm Springs worth millions, the typical home price combines value with affordability.
