The community where I reside is beautiful, with many outdoor places to enjoy. There are also social groups and activities to attend that are free of charge. Tallahassee is not an expensive place to live, so people who are living off of their Social Security will find that their money will stretch further here. There is proper care available, and major hospitals nearby. There are many small businesses within a short distance, where older people are able to find gainful employment. That being said, transportation options are limited in Tallahassee in general. This is also a college town, so stores, and streets are busy during the academic school year.
