It’s a nice place to retire, but I wouldn’t want to live there … and vice versa, as there’s no overlap between this year's “best cities to live in” and “best cities to retire in” lists.
That’s the message from the latest U.S. New & World Reports rankings of the best places to live and the best places to retire in America.
In topping the U.S. News list for best places to live — the first time it was considered — it got its highest marks for the local job market, at 8.7 of 10 points. It also scored above 8 points on desirability and quality of life . Gallup gave the Sarasota metro area, with its 786,000 residents between Tampa and Fort Myers, 63.6 points in its well-being scorecard, slightly behind Fort Myers with 63.9 points. The Naples, Fla., area, just south of Fort Myers, leads the Gallup well-being ranking with 65.7 points.
U.S. News, of course, isn’t the only source of “best places” rankings. The website Livability, for example, earlier this month crowned Fort Collins, Colo. — 55 miles further north of Boulder — as its No. 1 place to live , followed by Ann Arbor, Mich.
