Publisher's Synopsis
Living near the water is a lifelong dream for many people. When retirement time arrives, moving to a lakeside, riverfront or seaside town is a natural choice.
Here we feature 59 waterside towns to consider for retirement. Each one sits next to a lake, has a lake within its boundaries or is along a river or a seacoast. Living costs range from the relatively affordable to the upscale. We examine housing prices, population, median household income and climate. We also look at safety, public transportation, political leanings, percentage of residents aged 45 or better and more. No place is perfect, however, so we also point out each town's potential drawbacks. Reviews are short and to the point for quick reading.
