For most, living in Hawaii may not be a reasonable option, but those
that can splurge should definitely take it up as an option. For the sake
of mentioning the obvious, living in Hawaii is living in paradise.
Kauai serves as a good medium when it comes to amenities, cost of
living, and recreational opportunities among all the Hawaiian Islands.
Golfing, hiking, beaches, water sports, etc. will keep you busy. The
crime rates are also well below the national average.
Con: As mentioned before, living in Hawaii is not a
budget friendly option; the cost of living is high and the average house
costs over $425,000. Being away from the mainland might be a turnoff
for some.
Due to the rising of Texas economy over recent years, Texas has
become one of the best states to retire in with many great options like
Austin, Rio Grande Valley area, Corpus Christi, San Antonio, and many
more. The Woodlands in Texas are often considered one of the best places
to retire in Texas. There are many master-planned communities in the
town that cater very well to the needs of the retirees and the amenities
of a big city, like Houston, are just 45 minutes away. The crime rates
of this suburban area are low and so is the cost of living. However, due
to the recent increase in inhabitants and the quality of life, the
prices of houses are on the higher end; the average is about $280,000.
Con: Not very culturally diverse
