Fairhope, AL, is Featured in Where to Retire Magazine
HOUSTON, (June 1, 2010) – Where to Retire magazine, the only magazine in America geared toward helping people with retirement relocation decisions, has selected Fairhope, AL, to profile as a top retirement town in the July/August issue which mails to subscribers nationwide on June 1, 2010.
Where to Retire editor Mary Lu Abbott said Fairhope possesses many qualities important to today’s retirees. “With its beautiful setting on Mobile Bay and colorfully landscaped downtown, Fairhope wins the hearts of many retirees at first sight. They quickly discover it has a sophisticated yet easygoing lifestyle, a strong arts scene and a caring attitude. And importantly, it is a low-tax haven, so money goes a lot further here,” Abbott said.
Each year, 700,000 Americans relocate to new towns to retire. Generally, relocating retirees are healthier, better educated and more affluent than retirees who choose to not relocate; they bring significant economic benefits to their new states and hometowns. Nationally, two dozen states and hundreds of towns seek to attract retirees as a source of economic development.
Where to Retire magazine was launched in 1992 with the goal of helping its readers find the ideal place to retire.
