Where to Retire magazine has picked Carson City as a top retirement destination. The capital city is profiled in the September/October issue, available nationwide on Aug. 13.
Carson City possesses qualities important to today’s retirees, said Where to Retire Managing Editor Annette Fuller.
“Carson City residents enjoy four wonderful seasons — not too much snow, plenty of sunshine and cool mountain breezes — perfect for hiking, biking and skiing. Excellent medical facilities and multiple shopping, dining and cultural arts offerings round out the appeal of this desert oasis. Another perk: Property tax rates are lower than the national average, and there’s no tax on retirement income,” Fuller said in a news release.
In a preview on its website, Where to Retire says: "Carson City, NV, keeps the adventurous spirit of the West alive through historic museums, railroad remnants and one of the first U.S. Mints. Retirees are drawn by the capital city’s four seasons and its proximity to skiing hot spot Lake Tahoe."
Where to Retire is the only magazine in America geared toward helping people with retirement relocation decisions, as a top retirement destination.
Each year, 700,000 Americans relocate to new towns to retire. Generally, relocating retirees are healthier, better educated and more affluent than those who choose to not relocate. They bring significant economic benefits to their new states and hometowns. Nationally, two dozen states and hundreds of towns seek to attract retirees as a source of economic development.
Where to Retire magazine, launched in 1992 with the goal of helping its readers find the ideal place to retire, is published six times a year. The magazine covers the best retirement regions, towns and master-planned communities, and has a national circulation of 200,000.
The magazine is sold on various newsstands and at Barnes & Noble bookstores. A one-year subscription to Where to Retire is $18 (a 39 percent savings from the newsstand price).
