50 Fabulous Places to Retire in America [With Interactive CD]

50 Fabulous Places to Retire in America, Third Edition has the answers to one of the biggest questions you’ll ever ask yourself: Where am I going to live when I retire? For some, the answer is as simple as right here, of course.

However, for those adventurous souls who find themselves deliciously intrigued by the notion of going somewhere else after retirement, or even for those who are only considering a move, this book will prove to be an entertaining—and invaluable—resource.

With his engaging and congenial style, author Arthur Griffith describes 50 of the most attractive, accessible, and outright fabulous places to retire in the United States: lovely, welcoming, convenient, soul-satisfying, warm, sunny, cold, snowy, desert, mountainous, plains, ocean-front, big-city, small-town, way-out wilderness, or just-around-the-corner locations to call home. The book also includes an easy-to-use, interactive CD containing a wealth of information to make your search that much easier— and a lot more fun!

Do you want to raise exotic orchids? Want to breed miniature horses? Want to sit by the ocean and count the eagles flying? Looking for the best country-western town? The best golfing for the money? The most shopping per square foot? How about hunting, fishing, and trapping? No matter how specific and unique your desires are, this comprehensive book covers it all!

And for the more practical reader who needs concrete facts and figures, look no further: From annual precipitation to sample costs of residency, you will find numbers and statistics to warm the heart of the most detail-oriented economist in the house.

Over the past several years, Arthur Griffith has lived all over the United States as a radio broadcaster, an engineer, and a computer consultant. He has authored 12 books, and currently teaches online from his home on the (unpaved) North Fork Road near Anchor Point, Alaska. He lives there with his wife, Mary, and their two cats, Captain Editor and Miss Effie. Occasionally, he may be found directing or acting in local community theatre productions.
