Last year, Penny and Brad Bibey sold their Camarillo, Calif., home of 23 years and moved cross-country to new digs 700 yards from the first tee of the famed Pinehurst #2 course at the golf mecca of Pinehurst, N.C. Bibey reports that even though he and his wife are still working remotely (she’s a refined fuels broker, he owns a commercial printing business) at least one of them now hits the lixs most days.

去年,Penny 和 Brad Bibey 卖掉了他们在加利福尼亚州卡马里洛住了 23 年的家,并从北卡罗来纳州 Pinehurst 高尔夫圣地著名的 Pinehurst 二号球场的第一个发球台 700 码处搬到了新的地方。 尽管他和他的妻子仍在远程工作(她是一名精炼燃料经纪人,他拥有一家商业印刷业务),但现在至少他们中的一个人现在大部分时间都在线。

Another couple, painter Nancy Scheinman and retired architect Jim Wheeler, also moved cross-country last year, but in the opposite direction. They headed from the Baltimore suburb of Towson, Md., to Santa Fe, N.M., known for its art galleries, restaurants and hiking and ski trails. The Wheelers were on a long city hike around Santa Fe when we reached them on a cell phone.

另一对夫妇,画家南希·沙因曼和退休建筑师吉姆·惠勒,去年也搬到了自己的国家,但方向相反。 他们从马里兰州陶森的巴尔的摩郊区前往以艺术画廊、餐厅、远足和滑雪道而闻名的新墨西哥州圣达菲。 当我们通过手机联系到惠勒夫妇时,他们正在圣达菲附近进行长途城市徒步旅行。

There are lots of reasons those nearing or in retirement make long distance moves—to be closer to family, to cut living costs, for a warmer climate. But pursuing recreational bliss is also a priority for many Baby Boomers.

那些即将退休或已经退休的人进行长途搬家的原因有很多——与家人更亲近、降低生活成本、气候变暖。但追求娱乐幸福也是在最近的婴儿潮中一代的首要任务。

Both these affluent 60-something couples, for instance, wanted to live somewhere suited to their leisure interests. And both ended up at destinations on Forbes’ new list of The 25 Best Places To Enjoy Your Retirement In 2021. The list represents our picks for top places to pursue seven retirement passions: arts/culture, fine dining, lifelong learning, volunteering, outdoor activities on water, outdoor activities on land, and a subset, golf. Our choices are spread over 18 states and all four continental time zones. Most are good for multiple passions, and one—Austin, Tex.—hits all seven.

例如,这对富裕的 60 多岁夫妇都想住在适合他们休闲兴趣的地方。两者选择的地方最终都登上了福布斯 2021 年最适合退休的 25 个最佳地点的新名单。该名单代表了我们对追求七种退休热情的最佳地点的选择:艺术/文化、美食、终身学习、志愿服务、户外水上活动、陆上户外活动和一个单独的娱乐——高尔夫。我们的选择遍布 18 个州和所有四个大陆时区。大多数都适合多种兴趣选择,其中一个——德克萨斯州奥斯汀——达到了所有七项。

While our flagship retirement places list, The Best Places To Retire in 2021, features only locations that offer good retirement value for the buck, high living costs and taxes alone don’t disqualify a city from being considered for this passions list. But we do take more than leisure into account. We also apply such crucial quality-of-life metrics as the availability of doctors, the serious crime rate, air quality—and importantly, susceptibility to natural disasters and climate change. This last concern axed a number of big cities that made earlier leisure pursuit lists, produced before we applied a climate screen, including New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle as well as beach towns such as Sarasota, Fla.

虽然我们的旗舰退休地点列表“2021 年最佳退休地点”仅提供物有所值的退休地点,但仅凭高生活成本和税收并不会取消一个城市被考虑列入这份列表的资格。但我们确实考虑的不仅仅是休闲。我们还应用了诸如医疗卫生条件、严重犯罪率、空气质量以及重要的自然灾害和气候变化的易感性等关键的生活质量指标。最后一个是取消了一些在我们应用气候筛选之前制作的较早的休闲追求清单的大城市,包括纽约、洛杉矶、旧金山和西雅图以及佛罗里达州萨拉索塔等海滨小镇。

Annapolis, Maryland ⛵❤️

马里兰州安纳波利斯 ⛵❤️

With water on three sides, including the Chesapeake Bay, this charming state capital city 30 miles east of Washington, D.C., is a big draw for those who fancy boating, fishing and kayaking. There are even a dozen or so boating schools. Plus, there’s a strong volunteering culture. At an elevation of 40 feet, Annapolis is also a very walkable and bikeable town with good air quality, and a relatively low risk from natural hazards, according to FEMA. One downside: a serious crime rate above the national average. Another is that Maryland has both a state estate and an inheritance tax. It does, however, exempt Social Security benefits and a certain amount of private pension income and withdrawals from 401(k) accounts (but not IRAs) from the state income tax.

这座迷人的州首府城市位于华盛顿特区以东 30 英里处,三面有水,包括切萨皮克湾,对喜欢划船、钓鱼和划皮划艇的人来说具有很大的吸引力。 甚至还有十几所划船学校。 此外,还有强大的志愿服务文化。 据 FEMA 称,安纳波利斯海拔 40 英尺,也是一个非常适合步行和骑自行车的小镇,空气质量良好,自然灾害风险相对较低。 一个缺点:严重犯罪率高于全国平均水平。 另一个原因是马里兰州既有州遗产税又有国家的遗产税。 但是,它确实免除了社会保障福利和一定数量的私人养老金收入以及从 401(k) 账户(但不是 IRA)中提取的州所得税。


Ann Arbor, Michigan ⛳

Serious crime is low and so is the risk for natural hazards and climate change according to studies by FEMA and the University of Notre Dame. Elevation is 850 feet.

Tucson, Arizona ⛳
More than 40 golf courses are in or near this city just 70 miles from Mexico. The University of Arizona provides a number of lifelong learning opportunities while anchoring a robust arts/culture scene. The surrounding Sonoran Desert and mountains offer hiking and other outdoor land activities. There are abundant doctors and good air quality. At an elevation of 2,600 feet, Tucson is very bikeable and somewhat walkable. There is no state taxation of Social Security benefits or estates. The University of Notre Dame ranks the climate-change risk as low, although FEMA finds a relatively high natural hazard risk due to such factors as heat, drought, possible river flooding and lightning. The serious crime rate is above the national average.
