What are YOU Looking For In Retirement

By Jason Naumann

We may not have a New York skyline, but our parks, green space and streets are scattered with Great Oaks draped in moss, an invitation to retire beneath their shade and rest awhile....retire? rest? The survey below proves retirees are not doing as much resting as in the past. What are folks looking for in a retirement lifestyle? It can all be found in Tallahassee. I heard an accurate description of this great city... "It's a small town with a big heart." We have enough of the big city to keep our academic and cultural pallet satisfied, and the front porch charm that keeps it feeling like a home town should feel.

Both young and old are coming back to Tallahassee for its blend of temperate weather, sports enthusiasm, culture and affordability. As for the baby boomers, this makes for the right recipe for retirement. Baby Boomers are considered those born between 1946 and 1964. This generation is sandwiched between possibly becoming care givers for their won parents as well as being parents to college students. Tallahassee can keep you young at heart with its active and energetic sports fans and the stimulation of three universities. Retirees these days want to be Heart Healthy, and fitness is TOP on their list of priorities. They are staying healthy, not just for themselves, but for those who still need them.

If you are one of these Baby Boomers, get your gear on and tie up those running shoes. In a recent survey by Dell Webb, a wide range of activities are featured as important in a community to those looking to retire.

Tallahassee is being discovered by Baby Boomers more every day as one of the best places to settle and re-root. This great town not only offers proximity to coastal waters but its neighbor to quaint, historic towns with the same personality and charm it holds dear to its own heart. A person can choose lifestyle that lends itself to outdoor recreation or if a hammock and a glass of lemonade on the front porch suit you, so be it. Great amenities tied in with sensible floor plans will allow lifestyle choices that wu\ill continue to draw the baby boomer to our market.

We must be ready.
