Here Are The 10 Most And Least Expensive Retirement Towns, According To Realtor.com

Within the next twenty years, tens of millions of baby boomers will retire and likely uproot their lives to move somewhere quieter — and perhaps warmer. According to Realtor.com, with 74 million of them, "Boomers are by far the largest generation ever to retire."

The real estate listings site further breaks this number down with the help of Pew Research Center, which reported that between the years 2010 and 2029, approximately 10,000 boomers in the United States will turn 65-years-old every day. Because of this, by 2030, everyone in that generation will be over 65. Yes, that'll be 18% of the U.S. population.

Realtor.com analyzed 500 U.S. cities and the surrounding areas where at least 25% of the population were 60-years or older. After digging through "markets that had a high share of Realtor.com listings with mentions of 'retirement,' 'aging in place,' 'ground-floor master bedrooms,' and similar phrases" and the moving trends of people over sixty, they then ranked their findings (based on cost of a 15-year mortgage on a median-priced home).

In the end, they put together a list of the five most expensive and the five least expensive places to live in the United States post-retirement. Think you can guess them? Some of them may surprise you.
