In this Sonoran Desert Valley city surrounded by five mountain ranges, you'll find a variety of assisted living options, a low cost of living, plenty of outdoor activities and a multicultural community. It's no wonder AARP voted Tucson #1 for "Best Places to Live the Simple Life".
Tucson has a large number of assisted living communities concentrated near the University of Arizona campus. This location provides easy access to activities downtown and on the campus. For assisted living locations in Tucson, look to areas just north of the city such as Alta Vista and the Catalina Foothills. A little further north is the planned community of Oro Valley. The town has 55 miles of biking and hiking trails, horseback riding and a number of world-class golf courses. South of Tucson, consider the Green Valley area with its seven golf courses, 12 recreation centers, and hiking trails.
The Tucson area offers retirees an array of amenities like the Whipple Observatory, the Pima Air and Space Museum, and the Desert Diamond Casino with its blackjack, slots, bingo, poker, and keno. Stroll downtown's 4th Avenue shopping district. Visit the San Xavier del Bac Mission, founded in the late 1600s. Explore nearby Kartchner Caverns State Park. Experience the University of Arizona's Biosphere 2, "one of the 50 must-see wonders of the world." See a play at the historic Fox Theater.
Active seniors will love Tucson's urban trails. The 11-mile Rillito River Park Trail winds through the city along the Rillito Riverbed. And the Santa Cruz River Park Trail is a flat, paved path that includes part of the Anza National Historic Trail.
With all Tucson has to offer, it's good to know your retirement dollars will really stretch thanks to a cost of living that is just below the national average, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Residents pay an average state and local tax amount of 8.7%. The median home selling price is $125,900. And drivers pay an average auto insurance premium of $1,459.
