Most people spend the majority of their adult life planning and saving for retirement. Once the day comes, and you’re left with limitless free time and a destination in mind, you’re probably ready to say goodbye to the city life and enjoy Tuesday cocktails on the beach, or a light Friday hike in the mountains. From beautiful scenery, decent cost of living, and accessible amenities; it’s no surprise how popular a destination North Carolina is for retirees. Wondering where though? Here are ten great places to consider.
Pinehurst is a golf lover’s dream. With one of the best golf courses in the nation, the whole town has a resort-like feel. The best part is you can retire your automobiles for a simple golf cart that will get you around town. Pinehurst is also ranked as one of the safest places in North Carolina.
For those looking to retire in the mountains, Blowing Rock is a great option. There are a number of retirement communities; some gated, some with golf courses. The town is fairly small and easily accessible for such mountainside views. You’ll live a simple, laid back life here.
If you’ve always envisioned your retirement with a cold drink in hand, on a sandy beach, miles away from the world…than Bald Head Island could be for you. Accesible by boat, only golf carts are allowed on this 13,000 acre island. There are 300 full-time residents, and an array of cute coastal houses. There are also golf courses, resorts, and restaurants.
Ummm…Can we retire tomorrow? See more here!
