Georgia was recently named the
ninth best state to retire, with Atlanta being named one of the best cities in the state
to retire, according to topretirements.com. It’s no secret why either. The state is phasing out income tax on
retirement income by 2016, and don’t forget the outstanding weather, constant
activity and great senior communities in the city and surroundings areas. It’s
no wonder seniors are choosing to relocate to Atlanta for their golden years.
Below are some senior communities that may interest you in your move to The Big
A.
