Seniors Seeking Southwest Florida Real Estate
We can anticipate more seniors seeking Southwest Florida real estate as our region has once again dominated new rankings relating to America’s BEST places to retire. This follows recent results of two different national studies. In the first , a 
study conducted by the financial services advisory team at New York-based SmartAsset, the Naples area was named top overall in the nation. Naples scored high in a variety of metrics that included availability of recreational activities such as golf and tennis, agreeable tax rates and access to healthcare. According to findings, the number of medical centers amounts to approximately 28 per 1,000 residents. “Naples is so senior-friendly that a remarkable 51% of its population is seniors,” noted researchers.
A similar study was conducted by researchers affiliated with U.S. News & World Report. This study reviewed 125 metropolitan areas, analyzing such aspects as quality of life, economy, desirability as a home destination and more. Fort Myers has previously been recognized among the top 15, yet this year, it now ranks #2 among the 100 Best Places to Retire in the USA. Curiously, Lancaster, Pennsylvania took the top slot. Apparently, Lancaster’s cold winters and burdensome state inheritance tax rates didn’t impact its standing in the ranking; yet it deserves note that Southwest Florida is blissfully free of both issues.
For seniors seeking Southwest Florida real estate, these studies help reaffirm what so many have already come to know. Our beautiful weather & beaches, our offerings in golf fairways, fabulous shopping, dining and entertainment venues all combine to impart a quality of life that will not only resonate with retirees, but also young families.
