The Top Reasons For Retiring In South Florida

By Jony Mozen


Life can get very busy. There are children to raise, bosses to deal with, traffic to contend with, and many other personal responsibilities that eat away at one's own time. So, when the Golden age comes around, seniors should sit down and think things through. This is when they have the opportunity to enjoy all the fruit of their labor. Below, discover the top reasons for retiring in South Florida, which is the ideal place to enjoy life.

The sunshine state lures both Americans from the north, and Canadians for many reasons. For one thing, and the main thing, is that they prefer to retire in South Florida because of the better weather conditions. Having had to deal with brutal northern winters for most of their lives, this climate is much more inviting and comfortable. What's more is that it has beautiful pristine beaches with healthy saltwater to swim in.

With its many sunny days, seniors find their getting their full dose of vitamin D, which is vital to their health and for the ease of absorbing other vitamins. While this may be unknown to some, there are many health risks related to low levels of vitamin D, which can bring on numerous health conditions and chronic illnesses.

This state's numerous retirement communities are world renowned. These are communities that bring seniors together, enabling them to socialize with planned activities, fitness centers, restaurants and more. Many are even set right upon golf courses. With some built close to the Gulf of Mexico, seniors that love the water can also enjoy fishing and sailing without having to travel great distances.

Certainly, retirement communities are not for everyone. There are many senior citizens who are independent that prefer single-family homes, and the southern portion of this state has many affordable options. Moreover, many can also retire to smaller towns that boast oak trees and quaint antique shops, as well as orange groves.

Having said all that, many simply find South Florida a great place to retire because of its property tax exemptions. Declaring their permanent home as a legal residency is easy, which will then provide them with those tax exemptions. Tax exemptions equal savings.

These tax exemptions with regards to property can only exist when the property is the primary residence, and it can be in the tens of thousands of dollars. When seniors do this, they pay less taxes, so their savings will go farther. As such, they don't have to make drastic lifestyle adjustments and they can still enjoy life as it should be.

This helps them tackle their bucket list. They get to enjoy company, numerous activities, and year-round day trips. It's probably the reason that about 900 people retire to this area each day! New residents can also turn to the Chamber of Commerce to relocate successfully.

One thing is for sure, with so many new retirees arriving each day, a better social life is on the horizon. Plus, it is easier to get out and about and socialize when the weather is favorable. Unfortunately, those in the north tend to be lonely. Statistics prove that seniors who socialize are healthier and live longer, which is something to consider.
