St. Louis is the 2nd largest
city in Missouri. It's a city that until recently was
slowly decreasing in size from its heyday in the early
20th century. However, in recent years, it's been making
a comeback.
One of the best benefits of retiring
to St. Louis is that due to a special tax district,
it's able to fund all of its cultural attractions itself.
This means that you can visit the St. Louis Art Museum,
History Museum, and the Zoo for free! Talk about a great
retirement going to places like this and bringing your
family when they're in town.
Speaking of visiting family, in the
last few years, St. Louis's major international airport
has seen a massive increase in flights and has service
to 80 destinations. There's a good chance that if your
family is flying Southwest, they'll get here with direct
service.
St. Louis is a beer lover's paradise
due to the immigrants from Ireland and western Europe
in the 1800s who brought their beer culture with them.
Anheuser-Busch, one of the biggest brewers in the world
is headquartered here.
For the sports fan, St. Louis offers
the perfect retirement city since it has all four major
U.S. Professional sports. These include the Rams in
football, Cardinals in Baseball, Blues in Ice Hockey,
and AC St. Louis in soccer.

Missouri Retirement Homes
Communities
Many consider St. Louis
to be among the best retirement cities in the U.S. Here
are some other reasons to choose living in St. Louis.
Social Opportunities:
studies have shown that a good group of friends is more
important to a happy retirement than money or health.
St. Louis offers many opportunities with civic groups
and hobby clubs to generate a solid core group of friends.
These friends can help ward off the problems of aging
like dementia and health issues.
Public Transportation:
rural living isn't good for seniors who can't drive
since they require someone's help to get around. The
expenses of transportation add up quickly for fixed-income
seniors so the public transportation of St. Louis is
quite beneficial. Even better is that most public transit
systems have senior rates that are much cheaper than
normal.
Access to Medical Services:
it's pretty obvious that if you live near a hospital,
you're more likely to survive a medical emergency. Despite
how your mind feels, the body starts to break down and
there's a good chance you'll need a hospital visit during
your retirement years. Living in St. Louis is great
since there are more specialists and medical services
available and at cheaper rates.
Access to Local Businesses:
city living offers walking distance to most businesses
that you'll ever use in your retirement years. Even
if you need to travel, there are a lot more shopping
centers and discount stores in urban areas.
Fitness: exercise is
critical to keeping healthy during your retirement years.
Cities have every type of fitness facility from standard
fitness centers to niche fitness places like indoor
rock climbing walls so there's something for everyone.
Even if you want to exercise on your own, there's tons
of parks or indoor malls to enjoy walking in.
Continuing Education:
today’s seniors know the importance of exercising
their brains, as well as their bodies. Urban living
provides access to a wide range of classes, through
local universities, museums, city recreation departments,
etc. Enrolling in these types of courses can help stave
off the depression that some people feel once they stop
working full time.
Food and Entertainment:
retirement should be full of activities you never had
a chance to enjoy while working. Dinners out to fancy
restaurants or weekend getaways to a nearby city or
historical site are all possible living in a city. Usually,
cities have tons of entertainment venues like theaters
and museums and there's always something going on.
