Myrtle Beach Named Top Low-Cost Retirement Destination in Where to Retire Magazine

Myrtle Beach Named Top Low-Cost Retirement Destination in Where to Retire Magazine

Houston, TX (October 11, 2016) – Myrtle Beach, SC, earns top honors as a premier retirement destination in Where to Retire, America's leading magazine dedicated to guiding retirement relocation choices. The coastal gem is spotlighted in the "7 Low-Cost Cities" feature of the November/December 2016 issue, now available nationwide.

Editor Annette Fuller notes that this annual feature targets retirees seeking to preserve their savings without sacrificing quality of life. "Many U.S. destinations offer retiree-friendly amenities, but affordability is key," Fuller explains. "Our selections, including Myrtle Beach, deliver vibrant cultural events, diverse shopping and dining, and outdoor pursuits—all at a manageable cost of living."

Each year, 700,000 Americans move to new communities for retirement. These relocating retirees tend to be healthier, more educated, and wealthier than those who stay put, injecting substantial economic value into their new homes. Over two dozen states and countless towns actively court retirees to boost local economies.

Launched in 1992, Where to Retire publishes six times annually, profiling top retirement regions, towns, and communities with a national circulation of 200,000. Find it at newsstands and Barnes & Noble. Subscriptions are $18/year (49% off newsstand price) at WhereToRetire.com. Content is copyrighted; reproduction requires permission.
