Why US News Ranked Tampa the #35 Best Place to Retire
It’s clear that Tampa is a top city in the United States, at least according to Livability and now US News. Tampa has countless opportunities for adventure, museums-a-plenty, and tons of travel opportunities - not to mention great weather, top-notch healthcare, and so much more!
US News states, “Residents of the Tampa Bay area enjoy both a laid-back beach lifestyle and the amenities of a large metropolitan area, including professional sports teams, interesting museums and an array of entertainment and dining options.”
Retiring Tampa residents will be in good company, since US News reports that over 46% of Tampa dwellers are aged 45+. Here in Waterset, you’ll be in good company as well. Our retirees often meet at The Landing for social events and water aerobics. We even have a group of OWLS - Older, Wiser, Livelier Seniors! Just ask a Community Specialist for how to get involved!
Also benefiting retirees, Tampa ranked highly for housing affordability. Waterset, for example, offers a variety of home options with low-maintenance townhomes starting in the $200s and low-maintenance, single-story villas starting at just $219,990.
Tampa also received high marks for healthcare. Within 3.5 miles of Waterset, you will find St. Joseph’s Hospital South as well as a brand-new VA Clinic.
