Statistics show that more and more retirees are flocking to the Southwest. According to CBS42, Arizona welcomed 23,515 retirees in 2022, second only to Florida. In a state known for sunshine, active lifestyles, and great communities, diverse Gilbert, AZ, is one of its star attractions.

Is Arizona a Good State to Retire to?

The short answer is yes! If you value warm weather, an outdoor-friendly climate, and communities built around convenience and comfort. There can also be some tax advantages that make Arizona a great state to spend your golden years.

Arizona Taxes

According to Kiplinger, most types of retirement income are taxed in Arizona. However, state income tax is flat at 2.5%, which compares favorably with some other states. Additionally, there is no tax to pay on Social Security, and some types of pension receive an exemption of up to $2,500.

Mild Winters and Low Humidity

Located to the south-east of Phoenix, Gilbert, AZ, benefits from the same warm, dry climate as its northern neighbor. The average daily temperature in the winter months is 73 degrees. Also, the humidity levels are low most of the year in Gilbert.

Why does this make Gilbert, AZ, a good city for seniors? According to AARP, as we get older, our ability to thermoregulate through sweating reduces by 25%. This makes it harder for seniors to stay cool and comfortable in humid weather.

The low humidity of Gilbert helps seniors stay cool and hydrated and get the sleep they need. 

Active Adult Community With Outstanding Amenities

Of course, Gilbert, AZ, is also the only spot on earth you will find Pebble Ranch Senior Living, the perfect community to retire in Arizona. You can enjoy the best of Arizona senior housing, resort-style amenities, and a life free from tedious housework and home maintenance.

What Is the Best City in Arizona for Retirees?

Arizona is home to several cities that tempt retirees from sea to shining sea. What sets Gilbert senior living apart is its excellent location, fantastic climate, and its senior-friendly amenities.

Some of Gilbert's outstanding features include:

  • Low crime rate
  • Excellent transport links to Phoenix, Scottsdale, Chandler, and Mesa

While Gilbert is one of the best cities in Arizona to retire, not all desert retirement options are created equal.
