Metairie, Louisiana
This lakeside haven is the most beautiful during fall, as the large trees surrounding the lake turn red and brown in a gorgeous and breezy display.
The southern city of Metairie is perfect for those after a small-town feel and the location is simply great for a comfortable retirement on a smaller budget. While the cozy city is quite affordable, the charming nightlife found just a few miles out in New Orleans will ensure you never get bored.
Mesa, Arizona
Mesa is one of our more affordable but no less spectacular entries to this list. This is a cowboy wonderland where you can relive the epic and brave world of 19th century America.
In Mesa, you will be able to retire for a monthly rental amount of under $900 and the quiet location is home to great weather all year round. This destination is perfect for those with a smaller monthly income.
