Florida is the Mecca of assisted living, independent living and retirement living. For those seniors who are not tied to a specific location based on their family and friends, Florida is a magnet for seniors. Florida is rated as the 28th most expensive states to retire. Although Florida does not have a state income tax, it does have some small ad valorem tax. It also has a relatively high property tax rate. This high proper
ty tax, in conjunction with a high sales tax, is the main reasons for Florida's high cost of living. The cost of living is primarily a issue for those with a limited retirement budget. Many of the couples and widowers that move to Florida are have significant retirement funds and are primarily interested in amenities that Florida has to offer.
Of course, most people move to Florida to retire because of the weather. Warm winters and high humidity are the best combination for those that suffer from joint aches and pains. The abundance of sunshine and warm breezes in the coastal areas make for ideal conditions for many seniors.
