Tennessee Retirement Communities
Tennessee retirement communities seem even today like pure country. But things have changed for Tennessee from when I was a kid. It seems that isn't the case anymore. Forbes has placed two Tennessee cities on its Ten Best Places for Business and Careers List--Nashville and Knoxville. Johnson City made the number ten position on Best Small Metros List. Tennessee is on the list because it has successfully combined growth and kept its low cost of living. The cost of living is in the average range but with high growth. This is great because it means the state is economically strong but still retains the features that people come here for. This "Focus" page lists Tennessee retirement communities with no age restriction. How do we know it is for retirement. It may be the locale or the community has special features that seniors like. For over 55 communities only, go to the main Southeast region page. The Great Smoky Mountains are here--known for ancient forests and a variety of plants and animals: Did you know it is the most visited of all our National Parks. In East Tennessee on the border with North Carolina, this area is the nicest for retirement.
