Is Raleigh, NC a good place to retire?

OPINION: WALT DIBBERN (Owner:dibbern.com)
Retirement is a highly personal decision; what's great for me might be just the opposite for you. What I can do, however, is provide you with a snapshot of some important factors about Raleigh, NC. Take a look, and hopefully, this will help you find the right place to settle down. I wish you happiness in a long and satisfying retirement.

1. Raleigh's climate, has four distinct seasons. The winters are mild, compared to the northern states. If you're from the colder northern regions, you'll probably like it in Raleigh.
2. The Raleigh area's cost of living is relatively reasonable compared to other parts of the country.
3. Raleigh offers an assortment of cultural and recreational opportunities, including museums, parks, and a thriving arts scene.
4. Healthcare costs: Raleigh is part of the larger Research Triangle area, which is home to several top-tier medical institutions. Many Raleigh, NC Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) in the area provide a continuum of care that includes assisted living, memory care, rehabilitation, and skilled nursing long-term care.
5. The North Carolina and local tax situation is considered favorable for many retirees. Social Security retirement benefits are usually tax-exempt and other retirement income sources have favorable tax treatments. Retirees might find their dollar stretches further in Raleigh compared to other states.
