Why Ann Arbor?

What makes Ann Arbor such a great place to live and retire?

So, what factors are important when you’re trying to find the perfect retirement town? Well, you’ll want to find a place that’s healthy and has lots of good healthcare options, right? Check!

We’ve also got some of the best health care systems in the US! In fact, Ann Arbor has one of the highest doctor-to-patient ratios in the country, with over 800 physicians for every 100,000 residents. That’s one of the perks of living in a college town—you get to take advantage of top medical facilities and systems, like the University of Michigan Medical Center, or St. Joseph Mercy Hospital.

And speaking of living in a college town, talk about things to do! There’s always something fun happening in Ann Arbor,
whether it’s a concert by a world-renowned performer or a local jazz group, an art festival, a lecture, a major college sporting event, or a meeting
of your favorite interest group or club. There are classes to take, museums to tour, attractions to visit, plenty of local shops and restaurants to visit, and so much more. It’s the perfect backdrop to an active adult lifestyle.

Outdoor recreation is another top reason to choose Ann Arbor. Not for nothing is the city nicknamed “Tree Town”; we’ve got over 150 parks, including the 123-acre Nichols Arboretum in the heart of the city and over a mile of Huron River frontage. So if you’re trying to stay active and get outdoors to enjoy beautiful weather, it’s easy here.

One other small perk? Free bus rides and discounted taxis for seniors!
