Best town to retire in?

Yup! Can see why NH looks really good compared to those numbers, Toad! We're doing ok here, because our pensions are exempt from the state income tax, and our property tax is much lower. Even with Huntsville's 8% sales tax, we don't feel that kind of pain. I have a friend who was in real estate here who said they loved to get clients coming from the northeast! Of course property is all getting more expensive by the year...and has plenty of room to go UP. I couldn't seem to figure out just what AL's ranking was, but it's got to be fairly low for retirees, I'd guess.
