Anderson Featured in Where to Retire Magazine

 
Houston, TX (Oct. 3, 2018) – Anderson, SC, has been selected a top retirement destination by Where to Retire, the only magazine in America geared toward helping people with retirement relocation decisions. Anderson is profiled in a feature titled “8 Likable Low-Cost Cities” in the November/December 2018 issue, available nationwide on Oct. 9.

Where to Retire Editor Annette Fuller said that these eight budget-friendly locales are attractive to retirees. “This cross-country lineup of beauty and appeal proves that charm doesn’t have to come at a high price,” Fuller said. “Downtown Anderson boasts a seasonal farmers market, restaurants and First Friday events, while some retirees gather at Carolina Wren Park for concerts or at Lake Hartwell for boating excursions. Retirees can attend classes at Anderson University’s Lifelong Learning Institute or head 15 miles northwest to Clemson University.”
Each year, 700,000 Americans relocate to new towns to retire. Generally, relocating retirees are healthier, better educated and more affluent than those who choose to not relocate. They bring significant economic benefits to their new states and hometowns. Nationally, two dozen states and hundreds of towns seek to attract retirees as a source of economic development.

Where to Retire, now in its 26th year of print, is published six times a year. The magazine covers the best retirement regions, towns and master-planned communities, and recently released its 10th biennial list naming the 50 best master-planned communities in the U.S. It has a national circulation of 200,000 and is sold on various newsstands and at Barnes & Noble bookstores. A one-year subscription is $18. All material in the magazine is protected by copyright law, and reproduction of content requires the permission of the magazine.
