October 20, 2021 – Sarasota

Sarasota has once again been named the Best Place to Retire in the U.S. for 2021-22, according to U.S. News & World Report.

This is the second year in a row the Sarasota region has topped the list, which ranks the country’s 150 most populous metropolitan areas based on how well they meet Americans’ expectations for retirement, with measures including housing affordability, health care and overall happiness.

Earlier this year, U.S. News & World Report also ranked Sarasota as the No. 9 Best Place to Live, No. 2 among Fastest-Growing Places in the U.S. and No. 5 on the list of Safest Places to Live in the U.S.

“We’re very proud of these national rankings, as they reaffirm that we’re succeeding in our goal of making our city a world-class community and a treasured destination,” said Mayor Hagen Brody. “Sarasota truly has something to offer to people of all ages and from all walks of life.”
